Old-School Article of the Week

Okay, it’s not really all that “old-school” seeing as it just got published a few months ago, but I’ve gotten a lot of questions about the lower traps lately.

Top Priority for Lower Traps

The lower traps are critical for upwardly rotating the scapulae, as well as scapular depression and posterior tilt.  If they aren’t doing their job, you’re more likely to suffer from impingement syndromes, and you’ll lose stability that’s critical for big benches and overhead presses.

I’ll be back with more traditional content on Monday. Have a great weekend!

Stay strong
