HOW TO STRENGTHEN MUSCLES OF THE SCAPULA WITH CALISTHENICS

The shoulder blade is the base for the rotator cuff muscles. It is therefore important to have a stable shoulder blade so these muscles have a solid base from which can perform their primary function of stabilizing the shoulder joint. Additionally, having strong shoulder blade musculature is important for optimizing the aesthetics of calisthenic skills.

In this video I explain how to strengthen the muscles of the shoulder blades using bodyweight exercises.

Really shocking to see how underrated your channel is! I love all your videos!

[JoeBlackFitness]

Low key one of the strongest people I’ve ever witnessed, Simon!

[benjaminrogers]

I hope your channel gets more popular. I really liked this video's quality and format. You don't delay in getting to talk about the topic of the video. You are very clear and concise at explaining the exercises and shoulder movements. Your video clearly demonstrates what the movements look like, so there is no ambiguity concerning what motion is occurring. Kudos to you, well done. Thank you for being skilled at what you do.

Concise, actionable information without any filler as always. Truly appreciate all you’re doing here Simon.

[AnthonyVenmans]

This is amazing information!
Please, Simon, can you do a video about exercises for explosive strenght? To achieve a ''High belly-to-bar pullup'' a Muscle Up and a L-sit Muscle/Pullup Up for example?

The only calisthenics channel that teaches this.

This is IMPORTANT info. I had a shoulder injury for couple of years and strengthening my scapula solved it for me

[fria]

Thanks for video. Its very interesting. I want to start!💪

[radekoros]

Great videos, Simon. All of them. A quick suggestion to make them even better - Why not add some cool background up-beat music to juice it all up? Thank you for all your work :)

[scottbutler]

Good video. Just got back from trainong for a week out of town... Bed way too soft and my upper back is sore. So much soreness that I wake up in the middle of the night to stretch. This video will help.

[stormranger]

Can you also teach the scapular positions in inverted hang, Dip support hold, german hang at reverse plank?

[singhstreetworkout]

Only a person with years of experience can explain these movements and there importance

[pawedabrowski]

Nice easy to understand explanation! Maybe next video about pelvic tilt ? I think that many would appreciate it :-)

[Leonidas-eubb]

scapular strength and controll is the key to all calisthenics movents.
All those programm don't help if the foundation (scapular strength) isn't there.

[zerflexer]

What about upside down scapula pull ups on dip bars?

[ThanasisThomas]

how about use resistance bands insteed of weights?

[aldinbarsaga]

I can do pull-ups but it seems that I can't execute a maximal contraction with the active hang. What does that mean?
