Arthur Wong Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 what are some good ones, and how frequently can the scapula be trained or how fast does it recover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Hall Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Weighted dislocates series from H1.If you don't have H1 then you need it. The handstand series is dedicated to shoulder (and pelvis) mobility and then strength (notice order o priority). This means your best shoulder strength tool is H1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADRIANO FLORES CANO Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I would say also planks, planche leans, etc etc. That motion of "protract-depress" builds a lot of strenght. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Vere Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Front lever, side lever, planche, manna, rope climb and hollow back press AKA Foundation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Wong Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 I would say also planks, one arm planks, planche leans, etc etc. That motion of "protract-depress" builds a lot of strenght. thanks but i have another question now. does protraction work build strength for retraction as well? for example planche lean carryover to lever holds? I remember reading that bent arm doesnt transfer to straight arm. is this kind of similar to that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christoph Pahl Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 It is similar in that it doesn't carry over. It is different in that it doesn't carry over *at all*. Completely different muscles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flavio85 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 for scapular elevation you can do inverted shrugs in inverted hold, scapular protraction is worked in planche variations, scapular retraction you can do it in any front lever variations, look for this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALzXKe2GCpc, I'll submit a video with scapular depression soon.

David McManamon Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Strange to me to find so many answers regarding a question about building strength of the scapula? For reference let's review: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scapula Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 For retraction: Try two-arm scapula pull-ups with an arched back and max retraction (hold this position). Once that gets easy, do it with one arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
