Training for Michael required more than traditional strength training. We had to build shoulder endurance, posture, control, and resilience so Jaafar’s body could handle hours of rehearsals, dancing, and filming without breaking down. This banded front raise variation, starting low by the hips with a supinated grip and lifting straight up with locked arms — was one of the movements we used to strengthen the shoulders while improving stability and control through a full range of motion. The goal wasn’t just to look the part. It was to prepare the body for the demands that came with it. Have you seen Michael yet? 👀 #MichaelMovie #JaafarJackson #MichaelJackson #magnusmethod
