4 Shoulder Stability Exercises!

Scapula Stability ⚙️ Here are 4 exercises to strengthen the posterior chain (back side) of our Upper Body, especially those little muscles responsible for healthy shoulders & proper scapular movement. ⚠️ Muscles don’t turn ON and OFF as simple as this visual. In all 4 exercises all 4 muscles mentioned (and many more) are activated to a certain degree. They all share many things, but here are the key differences: 1. Prone Y- Raises – The scapula in this position starts in an upwardly rotated position. This puts the body in an optimal position to target the lower traps which are involved in both scapular upward rotation & scapular depression. 🎯 Lower Traps. 2. Prone W-Raises – The scapula is in a relatively downwardly rotated position and the movement favors a deeper retraction. This allows more activation of the rhomboid muscle group, which is involved in scapular downward rotation & retraction. 🎯 Rhomboids. 3. Prone End
