  Advantages in sport  

Fewer injuries For sportsmen of almost every kind of sport involving the arms, performance-oriented training with the shoulder active bar means not only  a higher performance ability and stamina but also the shoulder becomes lee prone to injuries.

This comes from the fact that the joints get a much more stable guidance very fast. On training with the shoulder active bar, the back part of the joint, which is naturally too weak, is strengthened. In the place where the ball was able to “jump around” in the joint is pulled into the joint firmly and stable.

Spontaneous popping out of the joint as can happen under a lot of strain can be reliably minimized. Training with the shoulder active bar is also of inestimable value for sportsmen, whose shoulders are exposed to heavy pulling movements (all surfers, hammer throwers, javelin throwers, athletes from strongmen pulling actions, rowers, motor bikers and bikers, etc.). Apart from the injury prophylaxis, advantages in performance also arise.

The shoulder active bar provides more performance and strength! It is a fact that 8 out 0f 10 shoulder active bar users, who use the shoulder active bar in the area of muscle training, for example, and who have reached a state of stagnation with hardly any increases in performance, can register increases in performance again, after only a few days of training with the shoulder active bar. After 8 weeks of training with the shoulder active bar, up to a 20% increase in performance in bench pressing and up to a 10% increase in performance in shoulder pressing were achieved. Tendency increasing.

Apart from the exemplary advantage mentioned for muscle sportsmen, the strengthening of the outer rotators with the shoulder active bar also offers other sportsmen, who need their arms for their sport enormous advantages. Due to the much more stable guidance of the joint, the shoulder becomes much less prone to continuous jerking and jolting movements and pulling and pushing movements impacting on the joint. The results are not unimportant stamina and improvement in performance, as well as a prevention of injuries.

Explanation:
Where do these positive results actually come from that are due to strengthening of the muscle system?

An old saying also applies to the shoulder:
Every chain is only as strong as its weakest link!

Our shoulder has two well-trainable, strong areas of muscle, the chest muscles and the deltoid muscle and a badly-trainable area of muscle, the outer rotators in the shoulder blade area. Normally, the much too weak outer rotators are not able to compensate the power coming from the dominating muscles from a certain amount of stress onwards in their area and keep the joint together, it thus becomes instable. The pains and twinges arising are extreme and known to almost every sportsman. They avoid worse things happening, however, as one then usually discontinues the initiating exercises immediately.

But serious injuries to the joint, muscles and tendons can arise due to strain. Especially endangered and prone to such injuries are e.g. sportsmen who dope or take pain killers as their pain barrier is much higher. In this way, “alarm signals” are naturally avoided.

We are thus strengthening only the weakest link of the chain with the shoulder active bar and making it possible for the sportsman to make use of all his strength

Better isolated training is not possible! It is not possible to achieve such efficiency with any of the renowned exercises to strengthen the outer rotators, as with rotation with the shoulder active bar. It is not possible. It is a fact! Anyone maintaining otherwise hasn’t got a clue! He has probably never tested the shoulder active bar himself, because he then make a judgement or statement, and this would most definitely be different.

Let us compare!
The renowned exercises:

On considering the amount of time necessary, great concessions have to be made with all renowned exercises.

We are not going to list all of the renowned outer rotator exercises, but they all have something in common: a lot of evasive movements are taking place at the same time, not coming from the outer rotators. These evasive movements allow a lot of other muscles to become active. That not only means that we are unnecessarily strengthening other muscles that do not need it, when doing the outer rotation exercises but we are also throwing away valuable training energy, that should be granted to the target muscles, undiminished!

Here you can reckon with a rate of effectivity of 40% which the target muscles profit from at the most.

The result of this means that we would have to invest a lot more time, in order to achieve a really noticeable strengthening of the target muscles.

On looking at all of these renowned exercises, one can ascertain that they partly mean a lot of energy and is not possible without any aid, until one can actually do the exercise. If one understands how to do it!?

As well as that, one can usually only train one shoulder at a time, which means twice the amount of time.

In order to achieve a strengthening of the outer rotators using conventional methods that is also of noticeable use, i.e. for protection against injuries, removal of stagnation or for increases in performance in muscle training, one would have to work on the outer rotators at least 4 hours a week. And even then, the corresponding exercise would have to be extremely precise and hard.

In contrast, the shoulder active bar exercise: shoulder active bar excercise The shoulder active bar positions the upper arms in advance and all evasive movements having nothing to do with the outer rotators are made impossible! The energy of every exercise movement id demanded by the outer rotators to almost 100% and have them burn out very fast. In this way, after training well with the shoulder active bar for 20 minutes at the most, you reach a point, where you can no longer lift your arms. Now at the latest, a sceptic will notice that something is completely different. There is a pumping and burning in the outer rotators that has never been felt before.

Both shoulders are trained at the same time, which means half the time!

The chest muscle system that is usually shortened in the bodies of muscle trainers is expanded effectively during each unit of training, due to the pre-positioning!

Three units of training with the shoulder active bar of 15-20 minutes each bring more than 4 hours of conventional training.

For 8 out of 10 users, the shoulder active bar causes obvious progress.

Stagnation is overcome, there is an improvement in pressing in pressing actions like bench pressing, angled bench pressing, shoulder pressing, flyers, but also in power lifting and weight lifting. All of this due to the shoulder joints becoming more and more stable and less prone to dislocations.

One does not become directly stronger, but one is put into the position of being able to release strength one always had through the shoulder

Conclusion!
Renowned is not always the best!
And know-it-alls are not always right!
