Google "winging scapula" and check the images to see what it looks like.What about us that have hyper-mobility in our shoulders/scapular? I have always been able to chicken wing very well and no amount of serratus work has ever changed anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias Sundelin Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 In side lever, is one scapula elevated, and one depressed? And how about protracted/retracted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how about protracted/retracted?Yes, one elevated, one depressed-- one straight arm pushing, one pulling. It ends up pretty much neutral, but that's the action you want to be actively activating.Protracted/retracted? Neutral I think, never thought about it, not really important. Definitely important in side lever pulls, but I would expect not to need isolation cues to work those unless you are encountering a problem that is not explained by strength... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenEagle Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Muscles that cause scapular motion Scapular elevation: Upper Trapezius, Levator Scapula, RhomboidScapular depression: Lower Trapezius, Pectoralis MinorScapular protraction: Serratus Anterior, Pectoralis MinorScapular retraction: Middle Trapezius, Rhomboid Scapular upward/lateral rotation: Lower Trapezius, Serratus Anterior, Upper TrapeziusScapular downward/medial rotation: Rhomboid, Pectoralis Minor, Levator Scapula As a side note and to be fair to the author(s), I found the above information here at this link. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyre Burner Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 On 12/8/2014 at 1:36 AM, esh said: How should the scapulae be during ring flies? I also would want to know this. Is it correct if I try to protract, but at lower position my scapula is winging a little? How should it be with scapula position when doing push up work? Is it good if doing all push ups with protracted scapula? It is quite difficult to me to get chest to the ground without winging scapula. Should I accept winging scapula or do without full ROM? Or stretch so much my shoulders? So is it necessary to protract all time during for example Straddle Planche Push Ups or PPP+? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Jefferys Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) I seem to have really strong trapezius/levator scapulae muscles, because when I elevate during the handstand, my deltoids touch my ears and I fall over. A neutral position with a focus on static upper trapezius activation seems to be the most stable. Does anyone else think differently, and if so, why?

I have always been able to chicken wing very well and no amount of serratus work has ever changed anything. I know you posted this ages ago, so you've probably discovered the answer, but my best guess would be that it's a rhomboid problem; not serratus anterior.

Connor Davies Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 So just to clarify: what is the recommended scapula position during a bridge, and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Léo Aïtoulha Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Elevated and protracted. This is mandatory to have a good shoulder flexion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
