How Perform Scapular Pushups

Unlock your superhero potential with Scapular Pushups! This exercise targets multiple muscle groups, including chest, triceps, shoulders, core and back. No equipment needed – just a flat surface and the will to succeed. Moderate-high difficulty level makes it perfect for challenging yourself; aim for 8-12 reps and 1-3 sets. Consistent practice yields chiseled muscles plus improved posture from strengthened back muscles. Uniquely focus on stabilizing shoulder blades for balance and rehabbing shoulder joint issues or injuries. Take up the challenge – become the hero you are!

Exercise Instructions:

1. Begin by lying on the floor with your arms outstretched, palms facing down and fingers spread wide. Your feet should be shoulder-width apart.
2. Flex your abdominal muscles and draw your ribcage towards the ground to prevent arching in the lower back.
3. With control, slowly bring your shoulder blades together as you raise your torso off of the ground using the power of your back muscles.
4. Keep your elbows slightly bent throughout the entire motion, ending when your hands reach chest level or just below.
5. As you reach the top most point of this exercise, focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together tightly before returning to starting position.
6. To ensure optimal form and maximum results, it is key to avoid lifting your buttocks while performing this exercise; instead keep a flat back throughout the entire movement while keeping abdominals engaged and head in line with spine as you lower yourself down towards the floor.
7. When done correctly, Scapular Pushups are a powerful exercise that can help cultivate superhuman strength in one’s upper body while sculpting sleek shoulders and impressive posture that would make any superhero proud!
