Your bodies ability to adapt is mind-blowing:

Read to find out why.

This information is not covered anywhere else on Twitter.
The bodies ability to adapt and change based on injuries is unlike anything you have ever witnessed in your life.

An example of this phenomenon is with rotator cuff tears.
Subconsciously & biomechanically, the body is aware that there is structural damage in that region,

through inflammatory markers, as well as the shoulders ability to move through space (proprioception).
So what does the body do?

It is resourceful and uses everything else it has access to.

Lats, Pecs, Deltoid, Traps

It integrates these prime movers, to compensate for the loss of rotator cuff integrity.
Your pecs not only complete pushing movements, but their fibres allow internal rotation of the shoulder.

The lats, external rotation and depression of the shoulder.

These prime movers however aren't as precise with their patterns of movement.
Majority of pro baseball pitchers have a slap lesion (labral tear).

These athletes are the fastest throwing athletes in the world.

The body has literally sacrificed structural integrity, to allow more external rotation to produce greater velocity.
Without these tears, they probably would not be as elite of a baseball athlete, which shows how remarkable the human bodies adaptations are.
Every muscular imbalance and asymmetry you have in your body is a result of the movement patterns

Combined with the strength and integrity of each and every muscle group.

Not 2 human bodies are identical in their form and function.
This makes the human body, the most intricate innovation in human existence.
