What symptoms did you have that came down?

Youtube has several hits for "serratus anterior push ups". Which one do you like best? Which matches what you're doing?

Thanks.

holy crap that is awesome and gives me hope

i did a scapular pushup correctly ONCE and then i couldnt do it again. you're supposed to feel your ribs wrap around your rib cage when you do it.

i cant tell my pecs from my lats from s.a. it all feels the same. i'm going to ask my pt for some serratus slide type exercises or something less intense.

these arent serratus pushups but this guy is a shoulder guru. he talks about pushups in another video

i personally wouldnt trust a video that doesnt make a big deal about activating your core and having good head posture

yeah its so easy to do these wrong

i have a pt watching me do scap pushups, say im doing it right but it still doesnt feel right.

just remember the whole "wrap around the ribcage thing"

anyone who just says SQUEEZE YOUR SHOULDERS BACK TOGETHER needs to be shot in the face
