Scapula

If you’re not sure how to retract your scapula for exercises like bench press, the cue “up, back, down” is a great easy-to-understand way for lifters to grasp this concept. Retracting your scapula on chest pressing movement stabilizes the shoulder joint for a safer press and puts the pecs in an ideal position for the movement while limiting the front delts from taking over. When in doubt; up, back, down #fyp #fitness #gym #bodybuilding #tiktoktaughtme
