Thanks for the detailed instruction. In the 4 point quadriped position, does pressing into the ring finger and baby finger help fire serrates anterior?
Amazing video and knowledge!!" I have chronic pain around my shoulderblades for years and I didn't find which muscle caused it. Now that after visiting a physiotherapist he found out that my serratus anterior is weak. I'm finally able to correct my winging scapula. These are great exercises, thank you for sharing these information, I'll use them in my training! 😊

Talk about perfect timing! I was just looking for some info about this for one of my martial arts students who's been having shoulder issues and I suspected serratus issues as part of the problem. Thanks coach E.
The breakdown and explanation of these exercises and the possible problems are perfect for me; Thank you!

Some shoulder issues were coming back, so this video came to me in the right moment. After the sets I felt instant pain relief. Thank you. This movements will become part of my daily workout (warm up).
So glad I found this. I have undiagnosed hEDS and have had 2 unsuccessful left shoulder stabilizations. I did everything I was told and shouldve been doing but am still in constant pain. Ive had to do all the research myself since I've been told theres not much more they can do. I was given the cookie cutter rehab, but it ignored my anterior scapular. My upper traps took over in protection. I discovered your lower trap video and then went on to this one. These exercises gave me instant relief, and I could feel my upper traps finally relaxing instead of taking over the movement. Thank you for this content! Do you have any videos for hEDS?

Really appreciate the information as well as the application thereof in this video. I've had stability issues in my shoulder blades for the past year and would often shift my focus between strengthening the middle/lower traps or the serratus. I found that getting my serratus to fire and then training it with wall slides BEFORE doing my prone Ys has helped me to achieve the posteriorly tilted scapula and pack the shoulder in order to really get the lower traps to fire. A little sore the next day but starting to feel more stability. Thanks a lot for taking the time to explain this!
I just want to thank you. You really know your stuff. I had been dealing with a torn labrum for years and prior to the surgery I needed to increase my serratus activation and your videos were the best then. Now years later after the surgery I got some clicking in the shoulder, and you’ve continued to give good and even better serratus exercises like this video.
Always learning! Thanks for following along and glad to be able to help. We just launched a new program called the Shoulder Pain Solution that is likely a good plan based on the little history you’ve shared. You can find it at www.precisionmovement.coach/shoulder-pain-solution/
Thank you. I find these muscles tough to target. Now I can add work on the problems that this has caused me to my fitness training, thanks to your great explanation and instruction.
Hey, thanks Eric for your videos, are really helpful for training shoulder movements. Is there any possibility to include a video for swimmers should and scapula movement improvement? Swimmers use this pieces a lot and some times we lack of movility or get shoulder impeachments because of the whole movement chain restriction. Again thank you so much!
Hi and thanks for the comment. As a lifelong swimmer I will recommend the following two videos. These exercises in combination with my own drills have allowed me to improve my strokes a great deal, especially back crawl and freestyle. I can now reach longer and generate resistance from the water over a greater range of motion. I also have greater control over my throw overs and more force generation in my breast stroke and butterfly. Before each swim do 1 min per arm of this one: ruclips.net/video/CPxCnoyVeZg/видео.htmlsi=DrDXWwGXi-OYAXdl And then 5 of these. Each one should take 60 sec to go around so make sure you have a pace clock to watch: ruclips.net/video/7lMjjTXUXWc/видео.htmlsi=Sb8zp7QmVQCEMUfg Do that for two weeks and report back.

@@PrecisionMovementCoach Hi Joshua, I've to tell you that this release shoulder excersise will jump me to the next level swimming. It make a huge difference in my catch and recovery phase, they allow me to move my arms more freely, which translates in better technique which translates in more speed and endurance. Thank you much for this advises. You are awesome.
Hey coach E love your videos. I have a question about some of this serratus work. I have some asymmetrical issues that involves my right shoulder dumping forward with my arm in ER and my left is back and up arm in IR. So bilateral movements are a bit more difficult for me to everything I can out of them. Do you have exercises for the serratus that work right and left individually ? Thanks for the information and l look forward to seeing more great videos
Hi, thank you for this. In exercise 3, for a number of reasons I am unable to lift my knees off the ground. Is there still value for my serratus anterior if I do the exercise with my knees on the floor? Thank you. Great video and I love the explanations beforehand.

Awesome video coach E.,could you tell me weather or not I need to keep my scapula posteriorly tilted on the following exercises ,I would greatly appreciate it. • dumbbell shoulder press •full can(for superspinatus) •Face pull( for infraspinatus) • Bicep curls
Happy to help! Allow your shoulder blades to move through their natural range of motion and rhythm during those exercises. You don't want them to stay in any one position. The rhythm will be different for each exercise. - Coach Joshua, Team PM

Hi, I really enjoyed this video, thank you! Is it normal to struggle to feel this muscle activate during these exercises at first? I'm noticing a bit of an upper trap "pump" after doing some of these, namely the robot and floor press. How long would you say it takes on average to restore proper function of the serratus doing these 3 times per week? Also, can I do them more frequently or is 3x a week for the best/quickest results?
Hey! Thanks for the update. What you are describing is normal. You will notice changes after 4 weeks of practicing 2 - 3 times weekly. Keep us posted on your progress :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM
I have a very weak seratus on the right side and these exericses fire up the muscle like no others. Best video on the seratus anterior out there. However i saw you have some more videos on the SA with some different exericses. What exercises do you recommend? Mixing them around or just these 3?

Forgive me, I'm confused. During the first exercise Coach E repeatedly says "posterior tilt," but the word on the screen is "anterior" tilt. Addtionally the description reads "pelvic tilt."
The subtitles aren't perfect. RUclips needs to work on their AI for this. Follow what he says and not the subtitles and let us know if it helps :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM
Thank you, but it's not the closed captions/subtitles. It's the prescription in the upper left corner of the screen forthe action/position trained with the sets, reps. Pelvic tilt is in the video description with the timestamp.
Dear coach, I hope you find this comment. There seem to be this topic of posterior tilt yet I’m unsure how to actually isolate the feeling. Are there any ques that I can look for in the posterior tilting of my shoulder blades?
It's a very subtle movement that will require more practice so that you can tune into the right muscles. Practice 2 - 3 times per week for the next 4 weeks and you will improve :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM

Excellent video, thanks. I've been working on this for awhile from your shoulder program and earlier videos and still have no 'sense' of my scapula moving into a posterior tilt. Is this to be expected? When I perform the movements is the scapula posteriorally tilting even though I can't 'sense' it. Thanks!
It's important to be able to perceive that movement. You should improve with time and practice. Email us at hey@pmcoach.pro for more tips as we really want you to nail this :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM
When doing the shoulder rotation robot I feel a little bit of tingling when reaching end ranges of motion. Is it normal? I train calisthenics and I have winged scapula, I think because of too many depression and downward rotation movements like hanging scapula shrugs and pull ups, and not so many upward rotation movements and arm abduction. I also have difficulties reaching my hands behind my back.
That is not uncommon and indicates an area for improvement. The Shoulder Pain Solution program was designed with people like you in mind. www.precisionmovement.coach/shoulder-pain-solution-yt Take a look and let us know if you have any more questions :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM
Dear Coach E.. I would wish you would always integrate cues on proper breathing by each exercise.. I am sure I am not alone battling to find the proper way of breathing by doing the exercises. Here in particular as the Serratus Anterior insert on the ribs . I myself feel a tightening of my chest when focussing on the Serratus.. and I try to rely only on my diaphragm.. not so successfully... Breathing is tantamount I noticed that sometimes in my practice I did not like an exercise and I realized - guess what ! - that it had been solely caused by a - painful - unfree breathing.. solve I that, start I to enjoy.. Would you ?
Hello Coach! maybe You can help me with advice 2 years ago i suffered foot injury, while recovering from that i spent some 4 months in bed with phone or remote control… after that i started to feel pain in upper back left side(somewhere around heart area) not all the time, bet when i bend my neck to look at my toes/chest or tilting head back with relaxed back muscles … pain is sharp and feels like radiate from back to chest to somewhere in the middle of them two… it also gives me sort of nerve pain wich goes to ribs, im swimming and doing different exercises according my PT, but no results, Could You please try to help me with some good ideas ? thanks! 🙏

I have a forward(anteriorly rotated left) shoulder. I do exercises to try to correct, but not having any luck. I’ve even done some of yours and others. My SA never seems to activate, just causes more contraction of upper traps/levator. I did this exercise where you posteriorly rotate the shoulder back and bring your arms back as far as you can and did it w/as good as form as I could. The right side no problem, when I do the left I feel it in my collarbone. My traps levator on that side are always contracted. I will keep trying this exercise b/c I really want it to work, but wonder if you have any tips about not activating the upper traps/levator poss scalenes when doing it. Then it starts aggravating my neck. Should I slightly raise that shoulder then try the posterior tilt?
It seems it's what I have for years... So when the serratus anterior doesn't do its job, the rhomboids try to prevent the shoulder blades from winging and get tight. You gave an exercise in another video. Working on adduction of the arm attached to a band. And adduction of the scapula plus depression. Just after a few sets I have less pain in between the shoulder blades. Thank you 🙏 for me one of the best channel about understanding anatomy and movement patterns.
Stop doing any exercise that causes pain or that you cannot modify in order to do it pain-free no matter how small the movement is. You can also try it out while lying on your back on the floor. - Coach Joshua, Team PM
@@danvinal5272 The pain response indicates that you are moving through a range of motion that should be avoided. This is your brain's way of telling you to stop and it is pointless to continue as you will not resolve the restriction causing the pain. It will only get worse. What will lead to success is finding a pain-free range of motion and gradually expanding it over time with controlled practice. Let me know exactly where the pain is so that I can make further recommendations. - Coach Joshua, Team PM
@@PrecisionMovementCoach ah. Well I mean it seems like especially on my right side after the robot I really feel it in my neck like my levator or upper traps seems overactive in a way my left side doesn't normally

Does development in this muscle cause cramps or slight pain? Because mine just started developing it looks like Bruce Lee’s rib cage please help I went to the doctor because I was scared ngl 😂 and they said I was healthy

Excellent video, thanks. I've been working on this for awhile from your shoulder program and earlier videos and still have no 'sense' of my scapula moving into a posterior tilt. Is this to be expected? When I perform the movements is the scapula posteriorally tilting even though I can't 'sense' it. Thanks!
It's important to be able to perceive that movement. You should improve with time and practice. Email us at hey@pmcoach.pro for more tips as we really want you to nail this :)

Thanks so much!!
When doing the shoulder rotation robot I feel a little bit of tingling when reaching end ranges of motion. Is it normal? I train calisthenics and I have winged scapula, I think because of too many depression and downward rotation movements like hanging scapula shrugs and pull ups, and not so many upward rotation movements and arm abduction. I also have difficulties reaching my hands behind my back.
That is not uncommon and indicates an area for improvement.

hey nice video
Thanks!
Dear Coach E.. I would wish you would always integrate cues on proper breathing by each exercise..
I am sure I am not alone battling to find the proper way of breathing by doing the exercises.
Here in particular as the Serratus Anterior insert on the ribs . I myself feel a tightening of my chest when focussing on the Serratus.. and I try to rely only on my diaphragm.. not so successfully...
Breathing is tantamount
I noticed that sometimes in my practice I did not like an exercise and I realized - guess what ! - that it had been solely caused by a - painful - unfree breathing.. solve I that, start I to enjoy..
Would you ?
I'll do my best!
Bro is so smart
Much appreciated :)
Hello Coach!
maybe You can help me with advice
2 years ago i suffered foot injury, while recovering from that i spent some 4 months in bed with phone or remote control…
after that i started to feel pain in upper back left side(somewhere around heart area) not all the time, bet when i bend my neck to look at my toes/chest or tilting head back with relaxed back muscles … pain is sharp and feels like radiate from back to chest to somewhere in the middle of them two…
it also gives me sort of nerve pain wich goes to ribs, im swimming and doing different exercises according my PT, but no results,
Could You please try to help me with some good ideas ?

I have a forward(anteriorly rotated left) shoulder. I do exercises to try to correct, but not having any luck. I’ve even done some of yours and others. My SA never seems to activate, just causes more contraction of upper traps/levator.
I did this exercise where you posteriorly rotate the shoulder back and bring your arms back as far as you can and did it w/as good as form as I could. The right side no problem, when I do the left I feel it in my collarbone. My traps levator on that side are always contracted. I will keep trying this exercise b/c I really want it to work, but wonder if you have any tips about not activating the upper traps/levator poss scalenes when doing it. Then it starts aggravating my neck. Should I slightly raise that shoulder then try the posterior tilt?

hi I have flat thoratic spine does strengthening this muscle help me to get rounder spine ?
Potentially yes and it's worth a try.

Is it also possible to have pain along the border of shoulder blade because of a poor activation of the serratus anterior?
Potentially yes.
It seems it's what I have for years... So when the serratus anterior doesn't do its job, the rhomboids try to prevent the shoulder blades from winging and get tight. You gave an exercise in another video. Working on adduction of the arm attached to a band. And adduction of the scapula plus depression. Just after a few sets I have less pain in between the shoulder blades. Thank you 🙏 for me one of the best channel about understanding anatomy and movement patterns.

Robot is very difficult for me - especially right side. Much pain. Should I simply continue until I achieve full flexibility and pain subsides?
Stop doing any exercise that causes pain or that you cannot modify in order to do it pain-free no matter how small the movement is.
You can also try it out while lying on your back on the floor.

@@PrecisionMovementCoach Thanks Joshua. But if I don't work through the pain, how will I resolve the restriction causing the pain?
@@danvinal5272 The pain response indicates that you are moving through a range of motion that should be avoided. This is your brain's way of telling you to stop and it is pointless to continue as you will not resolve the restriction causing the pain. It will only get worse.
What will lead to success is finding a pain-free range of motion and gradually expanding it over time with controlled practice.
Let me know exactly where the pain is so that I can make further recommendations.

Agony. My left fist can't do the last 12" to the wall of lift & back in the robot. Right fist touches the wall.
That 12" is a big miss.
Do your best and you will improve soon enough.
Should i be doing these exercises everyday?
2 - 3 times per week is sufficient :)
Am I doing something wrong when it feels like my rhomoids and elevator scap or upper traps feel really amped up after I do the robot?
Nope...you are likely using those muscles, which is normal.
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
@@PrecisionMovementCoach ah. Well I mean it seems like especially on my right side after the robot I really feel it in my neck like my levator or upper traps seems overactive in a way my left side doesn't normally
@@trentwhalin9422 Got it...Start working on the Total Shoulder Mobility 1 and Neck Pain 1 ROM Coach routines to restore balance to that area of your body:

Why would I be getting armpit pain with the robot movement?
That exercises targets the rotator cuff muscles that pass nearby the arm pit connecting the shoulder blade and the upper arm bone.
Thanks for asking and let us know if you have any more questions :)

Does development in this muscle cause cramps or slight pain? Because mine just started developing it looks like Bruce Lee’s rib cage please help I went to the doctor because I was scared ngl 😂 and they said I was healthy
That is not uncommon especially if you have not done exercises like this before. It should subside with time and practice.
