Awesome video! I remember you mentioned scapular depression in an article "12 things I learned in 2012" on tnation. After doing some research and self-assessment I realized that's what I have so I've been working more on using my lower traps to pack on overhead press among others. Been a huge help for me!
I've been incorrectly packing my shoulders and have actually experienced some injury to my shoulder/pec area. Thank you so much for clearing this up for me. I now know I don't have to really force my shoulders down and back to get good shoulder packing
Are there any easy cues that you tell people on how to do this more effectively? Or any movement or positional thing that you would recommend for people to get a feel for what this feels like when done properly?
I see you don't answer questions, but is any one out there able to speak about the need to strengthen subscapularis for anterior instability from failed SLAP repairs?
What would you do if you had a client post surgery had three days of paralysis in right arm. One week after hemilaminectomy of C5-C6 still had a very difficult time lifting right arm from side of body up over head.....continued for some 6 months. Very difficult after 6-7 months to shoot hoops. Finally, now I can do this. I also have about a 50% discrepancy in bicep strength and Pushing movements with my right compared to my left arm or musculature. Also, has (after surgery) Scapular Dyskinisia, mostly in the medial aspect of the right scapula. Have done 10+ months of rehab for the back surgery and Scap Kyskinisia. Please help me with this. This client would be me. Thanks J P J
I know it's an old comment but I'll give it a shot to break this down into simple terms: Tensing your entire arm musculature downward often results in a gross movement that may actually make your joints more cramped and susceptible to injury. Instead, firing only a small portion of the musculature in your upper back to try and pull your shoulder blades back, but more importantly tilt the top of it backwards, is far more likely to get you the exact freedom your shoulder needs and the stability to make you less likely to be injured.

How does the lat activity cause back pain?
