In your HIAH program, what do you think of substituting chin ups/pull ups and dips from a stationary bar, with the same exercises but from rings? Would It perhaps be better? Thanks a lot, it is a great book <strong>CW: You bet it's better. Thanks for the support. </strong> Hey, I know this isn’t directly related to the subject, but I hope you will answer anyway.

However, the gym at my work ($4 a month) only has dumbbells and one barbell (no squat rack). Out of curiosity, will I get the same results from HIAH if I sub your cable exercises and your back squat exercises with front squats and dumbbells? What do you suggest? <strong>CW: Yes, you can get the job done without cables. </strong> Just bought HIAH. However, the gym at my work ($4 a month) only has dumbbells and one barbell (no squat rack).

I have a stupid question, does the 1arm pushup help the external rotators at all? specifically i'm asking about the method nick t. teaches them? <strong>CW: It doesn't help much. </strong> great stuff as always Chad.

I do cross body snatches with a dumbell keeping the elbow at about 90 degrees. The target is the medial trap and scapular retraction. I also will do the classic Pharoah external roatation without the upright row as part of a continuous rotator regimen. Is this form of row and external rotation a preferred progression? <strong>CW: Yes, if this exercise doesn't cause pain, use it. </strong> I have an older guy’s shoulder with very littel cartilage.

Would you recommend this exercise for me? If not what do you recommend and how long should I wait before trying these? BTW, I am in wk 2 of Getting Ready from HIAH. Thanks <strong>CW: Start light and slow. If it doesn't cause pain, stick with it.</strong> Because of impingement, I had a cortisone shot in my right shoulder in December which has helped a lot.

After seeing the video, I think I was doing it more like a cuban press that whole time. So thanks for the video, it's much clearer now. I've been looking for more external rotation/pulling exercises since reading from Cressey and others that for healthy shoulders, a 2:1 or even 3:1 ratio of pulling to pushing is best. I think I'll put this exercise back in my training. Good stuff, Chad! Glad to see you blogging again. This is featured quite prominently in BOF, if I’m not mistaken.
