For #WorkoutWednesday this week we're bringing you a training tip from @hollingshead89! If you want to keep your shoulders healthy and upgrade your vertical pulling strength, strong and mobile scapulae are a must have!💪 Try adding these hanging scapular retractions or "scap pull-ups" to the end of your back training session!
.
Here's how to do them:
.
1⃣ Take a pronated grip on a pull-up bar
2⃣ Start from a full hang, draw the scapula down and together, thus raising your body slightly but without bending your arms and pulling as in a regular pull-up. Try to “bend the bar” and think about doing a reverse shrug (i.e. shoulders drawn downward). Do this, and you’ll feel your head shift backward and your chest raise upward, as your scapular pinch together
3⃣ Pause at the completion of the movement, and then slowly return to the starting position before performing more repetitions
