Modified Descent (shoulder-friendly)
If you have shoulder pain trouble, here is a Modified Descent Workout that's easier on the shoulders for you to do during FF30X Phase #3 Month #2.
Modified Descent: Same 3 Phase program. You will still do this in 3 separate phases. The main difference is the removal of the Single Snatch and Single Press in Phase 2.
Descent Phase 2
- Exercise #1: Single Snatch==>Single DB Clean
- Exercise #2: Single Press==>Single Hammer Curl
- Exercise #3: Single Drop Lunge as is
- Exercise #4: Single Row as is
The Stack workout during FF30X Phase #3 Month #2 should be fine as is, with the exception of the Standing Shoulder Press and Lateral Raise. The Shoulder Press can be removed but you can sub in DB Curls for the Lat Raise (to fit nicely as a superset with the Skull Crushers).
As always, if you experience ANY pain during these motions please stop exercising. Don't push through pain that feels like it's from a joint/injury. Muscle burning is fine, but we need to make sure you're not causing damage.
As always, please consult with your doctor to get medical advice on your specific situation. This substitution workout is simply a suggestion for informational purposes only - not a direct recommendation for you.
