    Ended up here because I have to study the Serratus Anterior for an A&P exam and came across an article about how in a weakened state, can cause rounded shoulders. BUT- by doing a push up plus you can increase your strengthening of this muscle, so I ended up here. Don't ask why but 15 secs into this video, I couldn't stop wondering if Nick is from the NE, particularly, Philly. Just from listening to how he speaks.Could be wrong but it's kinda fun to be able to determine that.

    Tingling and "cracking" is good when you don't feel pain, it means your muscle range of motion is expanding.

    wow glad I found this, after an intense chest workout I'm about 90% sure I suffered a contusion to my thoracic nerve, causing serratus anterior paralysis, when I try raising my left arm my scapula wings out. I'll deff give these a try and see how it goes.

    @lkjhgfdsa14111990 9 лет назад +3

    i agree with Kirstine Vest Have. If you clinical reason in terms of muscle biomechanics and physiology, internal rotation will result in the recruitment of the pectoral muscles ( internal rotators) which defeat the purpose of this exercise. Push up plus serves to isolate serratus anterior muscle activation only and removes as much recruitment of pectorals as possible. Besides performing external rotation, at the shoulders, isometric shoulder horizontal abduction would further deactivate the pectoral muscle via reciprocal inhibition.
    In summary, in order to perform the perfect push up plus exercise, there should be thoracic kyphosis, lower cervical flexion, lumbar flexion with posterior pelvic tilt, shoulder external rotation, and isometric shoulder horizontal abduction, in order to fully activate the serratus anterior muscles.

      +Sylvester Koh Should I do this in the standard arms position of a push up then?

    • @lkjhgfdsa14111990
      @lkjhgfdsa14111990 8 лет назад

      yes you should, place your palms on the floor in a standard push up position such that your palms are directly under your shoulders. try to contract your posterior deltoids such that your wanna bring your hands away from one another. next flex your neck gently and focus on protracting your scapular as much as position. I would recommend that your keep your scapular protracted for as long as you can rather that continuously move through the range of motion like in this video. make sure that your abdominal muscles and buttock muscles are contracted fully throughout the exercise such that your lower back is flat out. if the standard push up position is too difficult for you, use your knees instead and slowly work towards a push up position

    • @ChowMeinChowdown
      @ChowMeinChowdown 7 лет назад

      +Sylvester Koh is the standard hand position of a pushup just outside of shoulder width? when i place my hands closer by a few inches i find that i start in a somewhat already protracted position.

  • @fdfdfdfdsss
    @fdfdfdfdsss 14 лет назад

    @jazz5matazz I didn't get much out of these either. What I like to do is take an exercise band and place it behind my back so it crosses just below the scapulae. Grabbing each end straighten your arms so your hands are at eye level, then just press out. It's basically like a standing push up plus, but I feel it a lot more in my serratus for some reason, and they're always sore the following day.

    • @gaelthefail4399

      @@JayK108 woah, I forgot I even left this comment here. When I commented this I was 14 years old, now I am 16. My winged scapula is completely gone now. What I did was I started to eat more nutritious food(I was really skinny), I started lifting weights(bench press and pull ups are good for winged scapula), and overall just try to get generally stronger and athletic. If you are young, don't worry about it, it'll go away as you go through puberty and you'll naturally gain more muscle mass. If you are older, try some weight training( bench press, shoulder presses, rows, pull downs, etc). This is personally what helped me, I hope it helps you.

    Just my opinion: people with winged scapula (like me) should focus on back training 2 times/week, at least 5-6 exercises, including no matter what wide grip rows (for upper back) and the straight arm pulldown. And of course, don't forget the rear delts.

    hey i have downward rotation on my left side and slight winging. Push ups have always been an issue any way. But when i try to perform this my shoulder just downwardly rotates on my left side still, how do you know if your doing them correctly becuase when i look in the mirror again my shoulder just still loos like its winging.

  • @Pumpped
    @Pumpped 10 лет назад +2

    Man you do not want to internally rotate to activate more serratus. It's the opposite. If you internally rotate your subscapularis will end up taking over and try to stabilize the shoulder because it's function is internal rotation. To prevent this you should externally rotate your shoulders to inhibit subscap involvement and allow the serratus to do the majority of stabilizing / work.

    • @georgeboole3836
      @georgeboole3836 6 лет назад

      Definitely. Too much internal rotation is what gets you into having to use these kinds of rehab exercises in the first place.
