are we meant to be rounding the upper back along with our scap pro and dep? i always thought we were meant to strivefor a flat back with maximum protraction.  i have to say rounding the upperback feels more natural but there are a lot of things my body does that feel natural because ive just done it wrong for so long.

I've seen comments saying anywhere from some upper back rounding is good, to flat back is good, to the hunchback is good. So it's not clear to me if there's a definite answer. My thought is that if the activation and contraction are done correctly then the exercise is productive.

 

In my case, my upper back curl is limited to what's shown in my latest vid. This is probably a mobility item I hope to clear up in the Seminar next month.
