Alvin - Session #3

Session 3 again focused on shoulder movements and strengthening, through the proper use of seated row machine. When using the seated row machine, most people are only concerned with how heavy they manage to row and completing a "set". However the most important thing is actually to row with proper shoulder stabilisation. because without stabilising the shoulder joints, one cannot fully activate and thus strengthen the back muscles, which was what the exercise supposed to achieved. Thus much time was spent to make sure Alvin can row and activate his back muscles properly.

misalignment was also noted in Alvin's lower body, thus I worked on his alignment for both standing and walking. though it is not possible to correct the misalignment within a single session, Alvin will at least be more aware and conscious about the way he should stand and walk which should prevent further perturbation to his posture.

Since Alvin would like to, besides correcting his posture, put on some bulk, I have requested him to give me a complete food diary (which should record down everything he ingests) for 2 typical weekdays and 2 weekend days. this will then allow me to understand his eating habits and from there to develop diet modifications to help him increase calorie intake.
