PULLEY
• Joints involved: Elbows,
scapulo-thoracic and scapulo-humeral.
- The bar is carried behind the
head to reach the height of the neck (at the level of the first thoracic
vertebra), trying not to hit the cervical area.
- The pulley behind the neck is a
very popular exercise in the fitness rooms and health clubs, although it is
unnecessary in a force program, and must be eliminated (Fees et al., 1998).
• Spinal Incidence:
Very often at the end of the
exercise an increase in dorsal kyphosis is observed due to the desire to lift
more weight or due to the lack of knowledge of the correct technique. For
Lluciá (2001) this is the most frequent error due to the search for the
participation of the pectoral in an attempt to manage a weight that is above
the performer's possibilities.
This exercise can generate
scapulo-humeral repercussions when it requires movement in the frontal and
transversal planes, since it generates ligamentous stress. In addition, it
increases the risk of cervical repercussions by adopting an excessive cervical
flexion posture.
Why do the pull behind the neck
knowing that the muscles involved are the same as in the previous milestone and
that there is also a greater risk of injury?
Replace the pole after the neck
with another exercise in which there really are differences in muscle
involvement with the previous milestone. How can be the different types of
rowing exercises or horizontal tractions.
