Scapular Scooping for Strong Shoulder Blades -MoveU

Wings belong on your plate not on your back! Winging scapula (shoulder blades) are the result of a weak serratus anterior and lower trapezius. The serratus pull the scapula flat to the back and forward around the thorax and keeps them from winging. Jacqueline Monroe is demonstrating the winging in this video.

If your blades are winging, your shoulders are not as stable as they should be. This places you at more risk for shoulder injuries, impingement, labral tears etc. If you are experiencing neck pain take this into consideration as well. The serratus allows the arms to move in a large range of motion without compressing the neck. Engaging the serratus in pushing and punching motions will give you more power as well.

Pay attention to what your scaps are doing throughout the day and during your workouts. Work on protracting (scooping the blades forward) them in a pushup position by pressing as hard into the ground as you can. Think about trying to reach your spine toward the ceiling without rounding the upper back.

Start applying this scooping motion to your movements and practice it throughout the day. Pay attention to what your shoulders do and make sure they are not shrugging up to the ears. Work on really rotating that armpit up toward the ceiling while also keeping the shoulders down.

I was flenching every time he moved, 😬😬 anticipating him pulling to far and tearing it off. Now I’m cringing and will not be able to sleep peacefully for the next 2 weeks

[rah]

[soulfulspec]

His aggressiveness deterred me from the contentl... Holy crap dude

[Alaa.]

You can easily winging the scapula by injuring the long thoracic nerve ( nerve to serratus anterior)

[organiced]

Why I feel like throwing up seeing this..

[lp]

If I remember correctly, you have to work out serratus anterior to help with winged scapulas

Don't listen to him. Don't get a friend to repeat his actions.

How irresponsible are you, seriously, who was your instructor - they need to see how their student took sound information and turned it into this dangerous act.

Super to wygląda. Pozdrawiam Was Wszystkich. Poland.

[Aquaria]

Lmao why did he have to yoke her up by the shoulder blade. 😂😂

I’ve had scapular winging for several months - turned out that after two rounds of PT, I have had a SLAP tear, internal impingement, and subscapularis fraying. The wing was a red herring. Not the actual problem. No matter how much exercise I did, my pain increased. Go get checked out if you’re having issues, and if you don’t see improvements, get a second opinion… it only took me three Doctor’s 😕 but now I know.

[GymRat]

I think this might actually work. Gonna try for few months

[CobwebsRoblox]

My jaw literally dropped when you just grabbed it 💀💀

[gundomatumba]
