Hey guys,
I have a question about my shoulders. I have progressed well with almost every area of my body (progressed to higher weights as I become stronger on a regular basis) except for my shoulders.
Now-here is my thing. Since I am a Middle Eastern dancer-I think this has something to do with it. In Middle Eastern dance most of the time your arms are engaged and away from your body-your arms are never hanging directly at your sides-they are usually above your head, or reaching out, or somehow framing your body-and it really works the shoulders. When we do veilwork there is a lot of shoulder work as well.
So...I have noticed that my shoulders have not progressed in weights for a while. I am still really feeling it during the sets of various shoulder exercises that I do-and pushing through the last few reps-but I just have not "went up" in weights for a while.
I am sure that my dancing and the shoulder use there has something to do with it...as far as how they look-my shoulders look pretty good. They are getting a nice shape to them.
Do you think I am okay at lower weights for shoulders since I engage them so much dancing...or if I need to address it...is there anything that can help?
Any opinions appreciated!
