Exercises

• scapular push-up · bodyweight
• kneeling scapular push-up · bodyweight
• resistance band scapular push-up · resistance band
• single-arm scapular push-up · bodyweight
• weighted scapular push-up · dumbbell

What it concludes

• Building a strong base with a stable scapular position increases shoulder joint force production and prevents injuries.
• Correct form for the scapular push-up requires keeping elbows straight, engaging the core to prevent lower back arching, and moving slowly through full retraction and protraction.
• Common errors in the scapular push-up include flexing the upper back instead of retracting and protracting, bending the elbows, and rushing the movement.
• Resistance bands, dumbbells, and unstable surfaces such as a basketball can be used to progressively overload the scapular push-up once master of bodyweight form is achieved.
• Focusing on external shoulder rotation and driving hands away from the body helps preferentially recruit the serratus anterior over the pec minor.
