Proper shoulder mobility ESSENTIALLY depends on the joint movement between the glenohumeral joint and the scapula. If we simulate a bench press with a pike, or do dips on the floor, natural scapular retraction automatically occurs. We are not prepared to lift weights lying on a bench. When we do a bench press, the bench blocks the scapula. This prevents natural retraction and pushes the humeral head forward into the glenoid cavity. The anterior point most often leads to a shoulder injury. When performing any exercise (pulldowns, pull-ups, one-arm rows, etc.), it is also necessary to pull the scapula (retract). If it is not retracted, the shoulder also remains forward, in a dangerous position. If we perform partial range of motion in the aforementioned exercises, retraction is less necessary, and therefore the risk of anteriorization is lower. We must understand that except in very specific and planned cases, we should not work with partial ranges of motion. So...who should perform scapular retraction? Is it something exclusive to strength sports? The answer is obvious. EVERYONE SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO CORRECT SCAPULUS-HUMERAL RHYTHM. REFERENCES Kibler, W. B., Sciascia, A., & Dome, D. (2006).
