Most people train their shoulders.â
Very few actually train their shoulder blades.â
â
Think about the typical upper-body workout.â
â
Bench press.â
Rows.â
Overhead press.â
Lateral raises.â
â
Big movements. Easy to understand. Easy to load.â
â
Meanwhile, the scapula is supposed to move, rotate, glide and coordinate with everything happening around the shoulder.â
â
Thatâs why I think of the shoulder blade as the Swiss Army knife of the upper body.â
â
It has a lot of jobs.â
â
But for a lot of people, itâs also incredibly undertrained.â
â
I see this all the time, especially with guys who have spent years benching and pressing but have very little awareness or control of what their shoulder blades are actually doing.â
â
So we train them.â
â
We get them moving.â
â
We create force in different positions.â
â
We build control.â
â
And over time, we give the shoulder blade more capacity to do its job alongside the rest of the upper body.â
â
That doesnât mean scapular training magically fixes every shoulder, neck or elbow problem.â
â
But a shoulder blade that has more movement options, strength and control gives the entire upper body more to work with.â
â
And in my experience coaching people, that can make a huge difference in how the shoulder moves and feels.â
â
Thatâs what my coach and I were working on here.â
â
Always good getting coached myself and continuing to sharpen how I think about this stuff.â
â
Donât just train around the joint.â
Train the joint.â
â
Range. Control. Capacity.â
â
Everything is trainable. đâ
