That armpit pulled forward sensation really did it. My serratus felt sore after that, and as I tried to relax my shoulder I heard a pop sound - my arm finally back to its right socket. shoulder injury since a skiing fall almost two years ago. Been reactivating every shoulder muscle one by one, but serratus is a stubborn one! This video completed my healing process.

After many physio visits and other many tries, this is the ONLY guide that actually solved my winging issue. Helping understand the required feeling and great cues was fantastic, thank you!

My dude you at the only person I’ve even seen actually teach how it’s suppose to really look. This is a lifesaver

YOOOO I have had an insane scapular tilt / winged scapula. I am 6'6. I've been doing just that first exercise and only after 5 times it has corrected a SEVERE amount of the visible alignment. For real you should use my before and after photos this is absolutely nuts. I really am lucky to have found such quality content. Thank you.

I have this problem since my 32 years and I have to leave tennis. Making calisthenics and contemp dance, I was feeling pretty good but not perfect. Now I'm 44 and I catched the tennis racket again, after every match I have shoulder blade pain. This video will help me a lot. Thank you so much man. Greetings from Argentina.

Hi Trevor and folks. Just wanted to leave a note of appreciation. I'm active, 35, and have had left shoulder dislocations since I was 15. Weak serratus, constantly injured shoulder surfing and climbing. Asymmetrical posture even extending down to my hips. Countless physio, osteo, physical trainers, but I can attribute this video to a huge positive turning point in my journey to a stable shoulder. Love it. Big ups guys <3

At age 70, I can say that strength and mobility are more important than ever. Like many others commenting, I've had a shoulder issue forEVER, and I am hopeful these exercises will improve things. "Old guy slumped shoulders" IS a thing to be avoided.

Thank you, I've had shoulder blade issues forever and this is the first video I've seen that clearly explains the problem and the solution.

I worked with a therapist for years on some of this stuff and can vouch for all of this content. Both the importance of mindful engagement and these cues to reestablish good coordination

i threw my shoulder out of place 2-3 years ago while boxing, and i have super tight scalenes I break out a lot, and slightly blurred vision, poor sleep etc. every time i work on my serratus i see so much improvement. i feel more energized its insane

this is about to bring me back to normal. ✅🤝🏽

[luizalbertopersonal]

Man be honest with your public and just tell them that you recorded thos specially for me 😂😂 was ecacly what I was in need. Ty very much!

[harader]

Bro I cannot thank you enough I finally understand what's wrong with my shoulder after 3 years of searching and trying so many things.

[jimmybee]

Great video. Anyone whos dealt with muscle imbalance issues knows that learning and understanding an exercise is one thing, but being able to do it correctly with the right muscles engaged is the key. This video gives great discussion of the movements while providing really good cue's to be able to preform them as well. Thanks for the great content Josh and Trevor

Been dealing with pain in my armpit for YEARS, always thought it was a tight pec or lat issue, nothing helped other than taking time off so it's cost me a lot of potential progress. I was whining about it at work and one of my coworkers said it might be a serratus issue and oh my god, I can straight up see that my left serratus is underdeveloped. Like the difference between it and the right side is crazy, I have no idea how I never noticed. These exercises provided immediate relief, I'll be sure to keep at them. Thanks for all the work you put into this video

[imaknaktamales]

Thank you so much for this video. Most serratus exercises that I found on Youtube fail to address my inability to engage said muscle, making it difficult to properly strengthen it. Your method works.

[Subro_Plays]

I am genuinely thankful to you for this video, if I didn't watch this video I would never know that I am doing my exercises wrong. Now I know why I can not progress further in calisthenics. Thank you again. Keep uploading.

Yoooo let's go!! Finally somebody actually explaining this. Took me 5+ years to figure out this was my issue. Wish I had this video back then.
