Scapula Mobility & Strength Training = bigger PRs, Less Injuries & Happier Shoulders 👇 Read Why 👇
1️⃣Deadlifts: Scapular retraction creates a stable platform for your lats, which help maximise power transfer through your entire back. (Try initiating the movement with relaxed shoulder blades and that will feel 10x heavier & awful) 😣
2️⃣ Chin-ups:Your shoulder blades initiate the movement by depressing down before your arms even bend. Strong scaps not only support your ability to do these but protect from injury - I should know 🥲🫠 I used to tear muscles all the time on these after my car accident because I had nerve damage down one arm making scapula control SUPER hard to feel 🫠🫠🫠 happy days that’s progressed 💪
3️⃣Single-arm rows: One side working alone exposes imbalances and compensation patterns that bilateral lifts can hide. Your scapula should glide smoothly while staying stable under load. I actually use this lift to strengthen the range I have & it’s taken years to get it here ❤️
Weak or immobile shoulder blades = compromised lifts and injury risk.
Strong, mobile scaps = bigger PRs and bulletproof shoulders.
Train them like your strength depends on it – because it does.
Just do so progressively & gradually 🚨 & remember this isn’t personalised advice just my thoughts & SHORT comments of the day 🚨
