We explore new bases and scapular positions we haven’t seen before. Scapular depression is a joint position that many people struggle with. In conventional fitness we often ask people to "pull their shoulders down and back" in many movements, but most people lack the mobility and control to do so, especially in scapular depression. So here we'll develop the range of motion and neurological control in order to depress our scapulas effectively.
Scapular elevation is a joint position that's very important for vertical pressing movements. Think shoulder presses, handstands, and other overhead movements. It's also important in other exercises, and in daily life movements as well.
A healthy scapula is one that can freely move through all 4 joint positions with good range of motion and control. Here we focus on 2 of those joint positions.
Welcome to Scap-City, where the grass is green and the gains are pretty.
