The Cavemen

Long arms and short legs

YOUR CHALLENGE Many men struggle with shoulder issues – and this is a problem for you more than for most. Overhead movements such as pull-ups and shoulder presses, and explosive lifts such as barbell and kettlebell snatches, place your shoulder at risk, thanks to the long arm lever you create as you thrust upward.

01 Get a Leg Up

Your legs move efficiently through squats and lunges. Do them holding weights at your sides and watch your legs (and abs) build strength.

02 Pressing Issue

Yes, you can bench press. No, you may not get the results you want. Because of your long arms, the move will tax your triceps more

than your chest. But, hey, they’re important, too.
