Remember the days when you had to call someone from a land line?  For some of us we do remember, for others you might be sitting there wondering what a land line is….  Yes before the Nokia 5150 and snake there was such a thing called a land line in which you made your calls from a line that was hard wired to your house.

But as we know times have changed.  We have more technology in our phones now then we use to have in our Macintosh (aka a Mac).   This has made things very convenient for us.  We now can ask an imaginary women how to make dinner, where to drive for the nearest meal or even give us advice!

As nice as all things may be, the one thing that we haven’t realized is that it is killing our shoulders!  Even right now as you read this blog there is probably a 99.9 percent chance that your shoulder are completely rounded and in a collapsed position……… (Que sitting up and shoulders being pulled back).

How does this affect us other than making us look like a slouch?  It kills our performance in the gym!  The more we text, instagram, facebook and check the berry in a collapsed shoulder position the more we shorten those muscles in our shoulder keeping us from being able to clean, snatch, push up or anything in which we need to have our shoulders in extension.

How do we fix this tragic disease?!  Check out this http://youtu.be/0uNmXW5km64 and you will have your answer.
