Stop doing pushups like a moron! You have two shoulders... take care of them! One of the most common mistakes on this basic movement is rounding (protracting) shoulders at the bottom of the push-up. This puts unwanted strain on the shoulder and is a weaker pushing position. Both, no bueno! Start lowering body down by allowing shoulders to come together in back (retracting). Be careful not to let back sag during this (chest should touch floor/belly should not). Then push out and keep pushing unti

Shoulder pain during bench press? 🤕 You might be protracting your shoulders (rounding them forward). A quick fix: retract your shoulder blades and lift your chest before you press. This puts your shoulders in a safer position and lets your chest do the work — just like it's supposed to. Train smarter, not just harder! #afcradnor #personaltraining #personaltrainer #trainertips #benchpress | AFC Fitness

The “retractor stretch” described involves protracting the shoulders to lengthen the muscles responsible for scapular retraction. Standing upright with feet shoulder-width apart provides a stable base, while wrapping the arms around the shoulders and pulling them forward encourages movement of the scapulae away from the spine. This stretch primarily affects muscles involved in scapular retraction, including the rhomboids, trapezius, posterior deltoid, and latissimus dorsi. The secondary involvem

A great way to work on often-neglected shoulder retraction, which is pulling the shoulders back - the opposite to a slouched protracted (forward) position! Attach a band to something, your own feet like in our video demo, or a post/bannister, etc! Keep your shoulders down away from your ears and round forwards into protraction, feeling your scapula move outwards and forward. Then, keeping the shoulders down, bring them back through neutral, elbows go behind you and squeeze your shoulder blades t

Save it ✅A shoulder protraction stretch is an effective way to alleviate tension in the upper back by encouraging the muscles between the shoulder blades to release and lengthen. When we sit or stand with poor posture, these muscles can become tight and knotted, leading to discomfort and restricted movement. This stretch helps to counteract those effects by gently pulling the shoulder blades apart, improving flexibility, and promoting better posture overall.#UpperBackRelief #PostureImprovement #

Your shoulders are the most mobile joints you have, they need a lot of variance to keep them happy and you have to make sure you aren’t just overloading one pattern like protracting and pushing all of the time Have a well rounded training programme with pushing and pulling through elevation, depression, protraction and retraction and you’ll find your shoulders rest in a better position and are way happier too! Doesn’t have to be complicated or have specific ratios, just well rounded 🙌 | Tom Mor

One of the few exercises where a non retracted scapular is actually helpful. In this case, you start with a protracted (forward) scapular position at the bottom and then you pull by thinking about driving your elbows behind you #fyp #fitness #gym #bodybuilding #tiktoktaughtme

Cable Rear Delt Fly - The main issue is having that cable/line of force not aligned with your arm/armpath. Next, minimize as much scapula movement as possible by protracting shoulder forward. Especially if your goal is to isolate the rear delt. If the scapula moves too much you lose tension on the rear delts.
