Hi Folks,
What exercises do you use to train your antogonist muscles for paddling?
I've been training hard, but concerned that I'm not spending enough time on antagonists and am now concerned about joint problems, especially ramping up for another OC6 season. I've seen it happen in other sports: surfing, swimming, etc... where athletes are so focused on training sport-specific that they create shoulder impingements, etc... which end up abruptly stopping a season and take a long time to correct.
First I guess, I'd like to identify what those antagonist muscles are then then come up with some exercises & activities to develop them.
Any help from this community is extremelly appreciated, as I'm a relative newcomer to the sport and want to stick with it.
Does anybody else on this forum have difficulty with the search function? It doesn't seem to work for me.
Many, many thanks!
