Yes, I know…. training those tiny muscles in the back, that noooooooo one can see, is very tedious at times.  Yes, I know… it’s difficult to shut your ego down, and refrain from picking up the macho 20 and up pounders (kilos, whatever), and sticking with the 2, 3 and 5lb dumbbells.  Working your rear delts, as well as your shoulder girdle muscles (better known as your S.I.T.S muscles = supraspinatus, subscapularis, infraspinatus, and teres minor) will REALLY pay off down the road.  Most people, myself included, want to work the big muscles that you, and everyone else around you, can see.  After wrecking my motorcycle in 2004, I tore my left A/C joint in my shoulder.  This has become a MAJOR problem for me some years later.  Let me put it to you like this; You can’t have a rock-solid house if it’s built on a sketchy foundation.  Here’s another one for ya; You can’t shoot a canon out of a canoe.  The bodies stabilising muscles are critical to ensuring a person’s longevity, over-all well-being, and balance.  Talk to anyone who is over 35, and has a rotator cuff surgery laying somewhere ahead in their ghastly future.

All it takes is 2-3 times a week, 5-10 mins tops.  There are several shoulder stabilising exercises you can do.  This video is just a drop in the bucket from things to choose from.  Since I’ll be in the surgeons office November 22nd to discuss a surgery date for my torn A/C, you better believe there’ll be plenty more where this came from!
