NASM Certified Personal Trainers with Pickleball Athletes!!! 📣 Incorporating these three exercises into your client's routine will enhance their upper body stability and strength on the pickleball court. Ball Combo II with Dowel: This is a dynamic movement that will fire up your client's rotator cuff, which is essential for dynamic shoulder stability. > Start with arms extended and the dowel in hand above the floor > Pull the dowel towards shoulders in a rowing motion, then externally rotate at the shoulders, bringing the dowel overhead (like a goal post) > Finish with an overhead press > Control the motion throughout the sequence from ankle to shoulders to maximize total body engagement, especially in the rotator cuffs, which will stabilize the shoulder during dynamic movements like those needed for pickleball Diagonal Band Pull Apart: > Hold the band in front of your client and instruct them to pull it diagonally, one upward and the other hand downward, at 45-degree angles from the start position > This will complement the movements from Ball Combo II, providing a different direction of resistance > Remind your client to keep their abdominals engaged and shoulder movement controlled through the full range of motion to build both shoulder strength and postural stability Standing Lat Pulldown: > Grip the bar or cable with straight arms extended overhead > With a controlled tempo, pull the bar down, focusing on keeping arms straight (in line with cable) while moving shoulder blades together (toward the spine) > Maintain a neutral spine throughout the movement, as this exercise not only builds strength in the posterior shoulder and lats, but also encourages proper posture (spinal and core engagement) Want to dive into how the body works, learn to train properly, and change lives?
