Volleyball Magazine -> Shoulder Up: Five steps to sculpted shoulders
These tension band shoulder exercises are great for any athlete, and essential for those that compete in sports that require hitting, swinging or throwing motions. Every year thousands of athletes undergo shoulder surgeries because they have overused their shoulder joint, usually tearing or straining a variety of shoulder muscles and ligaments. Many of these surgeries can be prevented with the proper “pre-hab”. By doing exercises like these before the problem occurs, or when it is in the early stages, many muscular imbalances can be offset and the problem corrected without surgery. No matter what sports or activies you enjoy, integrating this circuit into your routine will stabilize your shoulders and provide amazing posture by enhancing the stability in your deltoids, rotator cuff and scapulothoracic region (upper back). Exercises 1, 3, 4 & 5 are performed in a standing position with your foot (or feet, depending on the exercise) as the anchor point.Yoga Journal's Yoga Poses channel has a comprehensive index of all the most popular yoga poses.

Instead of counting reps and sets, you'll focus on the total amount of work you can accomplish in a fixed amount of time. As you progress, you'll naturally increase your sets and reps, be able to use more weight, and perform exercises that are more challenging.
