Ole Farmer Burns knew a thing or two about a thing or two. And when it comes to working your shoulders, he stands on the top of the mountain.
The Farmer may not have understood anatomy the way we do today, but he was darn sure that the shoulder is the joint with the greatest chance of things going wrong.
Your shoulder is the most complex joint in the human body, with 17 muscles that tie into it. Your shoulder allow you to do the simplest of tasks, such as shaving, brushing your teeth or lifting a drink. It allows you to push, pull, twist and throw your arm in multiple directions and from a wide array of angles.
If you have any weakness in the shoulder complex, your chance for injury increases substantially, and that is before something nasty happening to you that exposes you to injury. As a combat athlete and martial artist, I have experienced the agony of getting slammed sideways on my shoulder, or having my arm twisted and torqued behind my back. I have also learned over the years the best ways to recover from this type of injury.
And let me tell ya, the Farmer nailed the healthy shoulder protocol better than any modern day weight-training method. Using nothing more than breathing movements, calisthenics and self-resistance exercises, the Farmer teaches you how to strengthen and heal your shoulders FAST.
The secrets are contained in Lesson in Wrestling and Physical Culture, a 1914 by-mail course that I’ve been teaching from for years. Although most of the course is devoted to teaching wrestling holds, what you learn in Lessons 1 and 3 alone, is worth the price of the book many times over.
Build yourself a pair of bullet-proof shoulders that are flexible and strong from every conceivable direction and angle. The Farmer knows what to do.
Now make sure you learn what to do, and follow through with action.
Order Lesson in Wrestling and Physical Culture NOW and change the life of your shoulders for the better.
