One common area that we often see needing attention is strong and tight pectoralis major muscle. Tight pecs can result in rounded shoulders and excessive internal rotation. A proper postural assessment will identify this problem. After recognition, the player should be prescribed exercises that will retract the shoulder blades and stretch the chest muscles. Think of training as similar to caring for a car. Tune it up and it will run more effectively. Fix the muscles that are limiting your gains and your functional strength will increase dramatically.  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sst.training\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/clip_image001-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"clip_image001\" style=\"border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px\" border=\"0\" alt=\"clip_image001\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sst.training\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/clip_image001_thumb-2.jpg\" width=\"244\" height=\"244\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>We, at SST, wish everyone a great summer and remind you to concentrate on your training.
