List of scapular positions for TBS exercises

Hey there,

After performing both HS and TBS exercises I was left with some doubts regarding scapular positions for TBS exercises (as HS positions are already discussed in the HS forum). Would you mind posting scapular positions for the TBS exercises (in terms of elevation/depression inward/outward rotation retraction/protraction)?

I ask this specially for rotation and protraction/retraction, as those were not fully clear on TBS instructional videos.

Thanks,

Feli

All the exercises where the is an overhead movement with straight arms they should be done on full elevation and hands at shoulders width. do not attempt to protract or retract during bridge work.

Thanks! and rotation?

I would not focus to much on this detail and generally on the super micro technical movement of the scapulae. know that you be elevated and neutral it is fine. during elevation itself there is a bit on lateral rotation of the lower edge but it is something so strong as the rotation in protraction. So keep it simple.
