If your shoulder blades (scapula) don’t look like this when you row or pull – you’re missing out on the full potential of their range of motion.
The main function of the scapula is to stabilize the glenohumeral joint (shoulder) – one of the most mobile joints in the body – and in order to do that, it has to be strong in all directions/ranges.
They move:
🔹forward (protraction)
🔹back (retraction)
🔹up (elevation)
🔹down (depression)
🔹Rotation: forward, backward, externally and internally.
Because they have no bony attachment to the mid back – there are a TON of muscles that work to stabilize the shoulder blades through its ranges including the serratus, rhomboids, and traps so ensuring full use of them during exercise will get you way more bang for your buck.
On most pushing exercises we’re looking to keep them packed – or engaged back & down – but for most pullers, get those babies moving!!
