Scapular Shrug: total fail

Hi everyone: My long-term problem has been shoulder strength, so it's no surprise I failed here. I couldn't hold myself up on my toes, and it didn't even work when I shifted to my knees. The closest I could get was to be in position for the tabletop push-up and do the scapular shrug that way. Is that OK? Any other suggestions? Thanks.

Hi Sarah,

Tabletop is fine, just work on using a larger angle over time until you hit 180 :) 

There have been a couple guys who have started on the wall standing fully upright. In time it builds :)

Thanks! That's encouraging.
