🚨 MUSCLE ANATOMY: SERRATUS ANTERIOR [boxer's muscle] 🚨 The serratus anterior is a saw type muscle that originates from the top surface of the eight and nine upper ribs and inserts onto the medial margin of the scapula. In the sport of powerlifting, the serratus anterior is often found inhibited due to the lack of overhead movements as the bench press generally has a higher priority over the overhead press. It is also recommended in powerlifting to retract and downwardly rotate the scapulae to increase overall stability, this also further inhibits the serratus anterior and weakens the muscle. Weakness and/or dysfunction to this muscle can lead to: 💥 Winging and lifting of the scapulae 💣 Poor overhead mobility and stability 🔥 Shoulder impingement and rounding of shoulders Strengthening the serratus anterior with exercises that require the shoulder blades to protract and upwardly rotate will improve overall shoulder and shoulder blade health and is often the missing link in rehabilitation programs. This includes exercises such as overhead presses, scapular push ups and incline shoulder raises. If you're a powerlifter that experiences chronic shoulder pain with the symptoms mentioned above, start activating the serratus anterior and bullet proofing your shoulders! . 🚨 TAG A FRIEND THAT COMPLAINS ABOUT SHOULDER PAIN! 🚨 . . . #shoulder #stretch #mobility #myodetox #toronto #fitness #exercise #shoulderworkout #shouldermobility #shoulderstability #ironman #yoga #yogi #run #orlando #warmup #bench #naturalbodybuilding #tips #functionaltraining #strengthandconditioning #physiotherapy #chiropractor #anatomy #ufc #ifbb #ifbbpro #bodybuilding #kinetizeyourlife

💯IMPROVE YOUR SHOULDER HEALTH! [scapular mobility drill] . If you want to bulletproof your shoulder, you need to not only strengthen your rotator cuff, but also increase your scapular mobility! . Doing CARs (Controlled Articular Rotations) is a great way to articulate your scapula through it’s full range of motion! . They can be done as warm ups or working sets! The purpose is to stimulate 💪🏼muscle tissue, but also to make sure you maintain stimulation of the receptors in the tissue. Like the old adage goes "If you don't use it you lose it". The scapula can be very mobile if treated with care. This exercise should be done daily for 3-5 sets . 💡A few tips 1. Make sure your posture is erect (core tight, chest up) 2. Don't drive your neck forward 3. Maximize your ROM (range of motion) in each movement . ❤️spread the shoulder love and TAG a friend! .

Episode 409: #Challenge!! 🤝#Tag your friends.🏷 For those of you that can do the ADVANCED form of this glute 🍑exercise, post a video of you doing it and share it with us! (Don’t just DM us a video, it will disappear). We don’t want to see all of the failed attempts… there will be far too many.😳 =P This is extremely difficult!😈 Do 1-10 repetitions with a 5-30 seconds HOLD on each side. Don’t forget to breathe 🌬and smile. 😁 . . This “criminal” glute exercise is awesome for strengthening💪 the glute max in its end range❌ of motion and I personally think it is more affective than the well-known “clam shell.” 🐚 . . There are a few important cues that you have to pay attention: 1️⃣Lie flat on your belly with your pelvic tucked POSTERIOR🔄 (flattening the lower back) 2️⃣Make sure your ribs are tucked into your belly so that your abs are engaged💪 and tight!!! You should be ready to get kicked in the side! 3️⃣Place the hands by sides of your head like a pushup (easier version) or wrap your arms behind your back (HARD version). 4️⃣One leg will be bent✔️ with the foot resting on the back of your other knee. 5️⃣Without losing your posterior tilt or using the straight leg for support, lift the knee⬆️ as high off the ground as you can. You won’t lift it very high and you don’t need to! 6️⃣If you are lifting the knee super high, it is either because you are arching🐋 your back(no bueno🤦‍♂️) or you are freakishly mobile! . . If you have hip impingement💥, then 1️⃣) your glutes are weak AF😜 and 2️⃣) there is a 99% chance that you do your squats, deadlifts, and lunges in anterior tilt with a disengaged core. These two components contribute to your impingement. Tucking posterior and strengthening the glute will stabilize the hip in the correct position and allow the ball⚽️ and socket hip joint to slide in the proper orientation. . . 💻Written by Andrew Dettelbach #solution #longterm #hip #painrelief #painfree #squats #squat #enjoy #movement #stabilize #glutes #strength #strengthandconditioning #hipimpingement #exercise #solutions #gym #legday #bodybuilding #crossfit #fitness #prehab #knowyourworth #knowyourbody #kinetizeyourlife

😱🤯👏🏼 The future of rehab is bright! . A Colorado man made history at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory when he became the first bilateral shoulder-level amputee to wear and simultaneously control two of the Laboratory's Modular Prosthetic Limbs. Most importantly, Les Baugh, who lost both arms in an electrical accident 40 years ago, was able to operate the system by simply thinking about moving his limbs, performing a variety of tasks during a short training period .

IT'S ALL IN THE HIPS - 👉Had someone ask me how to properly hip hinge on one of my previous stretches. Here's a great explanation by my buddy @dr.jacob.harden 🙌 - The hip hinge is a fundamental movement that all humans should know how to do. In day to day movement, the hinge helps you move safely and efficiently and distribute stress between the back and hips. It also is a great way for people with low back pain to move pain free.😃 . Why you should hinge comes down to simply having options. . There is nothing wrong with spinal flexion. It is a natural movement that we should be able to do. But just as we should be able to move with flexion, we should also be able to move without it. 🗝 The more variability we have, the more options we have in our movement. . If you can't hinge, you have no choice but to flex through your spine. And while that's fine to tie your 👟shoes, it may not be the best way to move your couch or pick up a heavy deadlift, especially if you haven't trained loaded flexion. You need to know how to organize yourself and move efficiently when placed in higher stress situations so that you reduce your injury risk.🏋️‍♂️ . So if you need to work on your hinge, this is one of my favorite progressions. The key is to load into the hips and keep a neutral spine. It takes time to build this coordination so don't get frustrated if it doesn't come naturally at first. Keep practicing and you'll get it.✌❤ .

I recommend to make this a habit even if you don’t have back pain. Better prevent than treat. It’s easier.😉 Repost @drkev_hybrid HOW TO GET OUT OF BED WHEN DEALING WITH LOW BACK PAIN🔥 . [low back pain guide] . The way you get out of bed when dealing with back pain can literally dictate how your back feels for the rest of that day😔 . If your back is already annoyed having a strategy to get out of bed is crucial. We often do things that aggravate our back more and don't even realize it . The rule of thumb when dealing with low back pain is that your chest can't get too close to your knees as that causes a lot of low back stress . Most of us get up in the morning doing exactly that. Curling up in the morning brings your knees to your chest and can potentially aggravate your low back further . Here is a great way to get up out of bed while keeping your back in a safe position. Try it out tomorrow morning. It may completely change how your day goes✌🏾 .

Here are 2 tricks to sleep better!! HOW TO DECOMPRESS YOUR SPINE!!!↔️ [side-lying] . If you like to sleep on your side, here’s an easy drill to decompress and lengthen your spine . 1️⃣lay on your side 2️⃣place your hands in a position to give you leverage 3️⃣Use your arms to push your upper body AWAY from your lower body 4️⃣if it’s comfortable to you, try to sleep in this position . If it isn’t comfortable, you can use it as a stretching drill and lay there for 2-3 mins and slowly progress to 5-10 mins (you should feel the sides of your torso stretching!) . 💡Imagine you are laying across a bar at chest height and you are trying to curve up and around it! . ❌make sure you don’t push upwards as that may strain your back . I’m going to take a break from the sleep posts for a minute and switch gears! What do you guys want me to talk about next? 🤔 . #Myodetox #FutureProofYourBody #sleep #sleepy #posture #postureo #neckpain #backpain #lowbackpain #pillow #gym #afterworkout #knowledge #power #follow #knowyourworth #kinetizeyourlife

#Repost @pheasyque 🔴3 PUSH-UP VARIATIONS🔴 - ✅ There are alot of push-up variations depending on the muscles you wanna hit. - Keeping a 75 degree angle with your arms, will increase the pec engagement (decreasing the tricep’s one), just like when performing a bench press, while decreasing its angle, will increase the triceps’ one (by decreasing the chest activation). Basically, the closer you get to the torso with your arms, the more you’re going to engage your triceps, while moving outwards will result in chest activation & then injury zone in case you get too wide with the angle. - Bottom line: don’t go any further than 75 degree on your arm angle: besides reducing the muscles’ engagement, you’ll simply end up hurting either your elbows, shoulders or wrists.. or all of them. 🤷🏻‍♂️ #pushups #push-up #chestworkout #chestday #tricepsworkout #tricepsdips #tricepsday #tricepsfordays #bodybulding #physique #workout #workoutroutine #workoutworld #performance #technique #gym #fitness #fitfam #fitnessmotivation #fitspro #injuryfree . #knowyourworth #knowyourbody #kinetizeyourlife
