Bulletproof Your Press Up – Part 2

EDUCATE – EMPOWER – ENABLE

This is the second video in the series on Bulleting proofing your press ups.

The first video was about leraning how to body tension.

This second video is about control of your shoulder blades (Scapulas) and working the “Boxer’s muscle” Serratus Anterior.

This is done by protracting and retracting your shoulder blades whilst in the press up position.

As you make the chest proud the shouder blades naturally retract and squeeze closer together.

When you push away from the ground the shoulder blades protract as you hollow the chest. 

This is not only a great rehab exercise for the shoulders but it also teaches you good postioning for where the shoulders need to be when performing this classic exercise.

Plus it’s also backed up by scientifc literature on it’s effectiveness.

So what are you waiting for?

Prone position DOWN!
