Pick one! All the dipping movements are done far too low, the
pulldown/pullup movements look like a ballistic drop on the negative and
relaxing the shoulders to throw the stress onto the joint and supporting
small muscles (this is different than getting a full ROM), upright rows
(to be avoided altogether IMO) are shown pulling way too high, and these
are not the only ones. In addition a newbie should be careful of some of
the rather harmful exercises depicted there which aren't safe regardless
of form, such as the numeroud behind the neck movements and smith
machine exercises. I really shouldn't have said "most", though, that
isn't accurate.

I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my
neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. Complications in
hospital following this resulted in a serious illness. I now need a bone
marrow transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a marrow
transplant, too. Please volunteer to be a marrow donor:
