This lesson video teaches Standing Scap CARs - a foundational drill for developing true scapular control through protraction, elevation, retraction, and depression. The objective is to get fluid, intentional movement of the scapulae around the ribcage without compensating through bent elbows, swinging arms, or shifting the torso. You’ll keep the arms locked, create controlled tension, and focus on smooth scap motion, because strong shoulders start with a scap that can actually move and stabilize properly.

Plank Scapular Protraction ISO
Build genuine scapular control and serratus anterior strength with this plank protraction isometric — a precise, isolated drill that trains the scapulae to glide fully around the ribcage under load, building the kind of active scapular stability that underpins healthy shoulders and efficient push...

Plank Scapular Retraction ISO
Develop active scapular retraction strength and mid-back control with this plank retraction isometric — the natural counterpart to the protraction drill, training the scapulae to draw firmly together under load and hold that position with maximum muscular effort, building the posterior shoulder a...

Quadruped Scapular Protraction ISO
Build genuine serratus anterior strength and active scapular control with this quadruped protraction isometric — the more accessible version of the plank scapular protraction drill, delivering the same targeted stimulus to the scapulae and serratus anterior in a position that is easier to sustain...
