NOTE

** Movement for Functional Strength**

Emphasizing exercises that allow for free movement of the shoulder blades enhances functional strength. Traditional exercises like the bench press can restrict this movement due to the positioning of the shoulder blades. Instead, incorporating movements where the shoulder blades can move naturally, such as pushups (particularly in a hollow back position), cable presses, and landmine presses, is recommended. These exercises promote scapular upward rotation and acknowledge the interaction between the scapula and rib cage, essential for maintaining proper movement mechanics. Utilizing unilateral exercises can also foster stronger coordination and muscle engagement, facilitating a more functional and versatile strength training approach.
