A good que that I have heard, is thinking about pulling your elbows/upper arms together as far as they will go. You don't want to be moving your shoulder blades too much, or keep them pinned. Right in the middle where it feels natural is the sweet spot. | |

So, practically, which mind-muscle approach do you use to control the scapular setup? Until now, I only thought to squeeze my shoulder-blades the whole time to keep them fixed. Now, should I think to slightly upward rotate the scapulae whilst pressing? According to your explanation, I'd like to find the good mind approach to move the shoulder-blades as much as they need to be natural and safe, but not excessively to lose stability. | |
