HOW TO DO SCAPULAR PUSH-UP

  1. Hold a high plank with hands under the shoulders, elbows straight, and the body aligned from head to heels.
  2. Without bending the elbows, allow the shoulder blades to glide gently toward each other so the chest lowers a small amount.
  3. Then press the floor away, spreading the shoulder blades around the rib cage without rounding through the lower back.
  4. The motion is short and comes from scapular retraction and protraction, not from dropping the head or hips.
  5. Scapular push-ups train serratus anterior and shoulder-blade control while the trunk holds the plank.
  6. Perform them from the knees or at a wall if full-plank posture cannot remain steady.
