Scapular PushUps in Plank Position

The scapular plank push up targets the serratus anterior, a muscle critical to proper shoulder stability and function. At the beginning of the exercise, be sure to retract the scapula as much as possible, then push through the chest and round the upper back to separate the scapula. The spine should be neutral throughout the entire movement. The traditional plank primarily targets and strengthens the abdominals, however slight modifications or progressions can challenge other body regions as well. Want to move better? Do you have pain?
