Unilateral 'Trap-3 Raise' (scapular stability)
RE-/PREHAB: Shoulders, scap & neck
•
1m 47s
THE SLEEPING GIANT:
The unilateral 'trap-3' raise is an isolated movement performed for the sole purpose of identifying and facilitating a maximal contraction in the lower regions of scapular musculature for the purposes of bringing it back to the attention of your neuro-muscular map (i.e. being able to use it).
Normally overpowered by the much more commonly employed areas of the middle and upper trapezius muscles, loss of “neural-drive” in this area can lead to inefficiency in scapular movement, dysfunction, and shoulder-instability.

The 'Trap Y-raise' (scapular stability)
THE WHAT & HOW:
So named for the 'Y' shape made in the arms-extended raise position, the 'Trap Y-raise' is the bilateral brother to the 'Unilateral trap-3 raise'. Once familiarity with & muscular 'neural-drive' have been developed in the more isolated latter context, the former can be used effect... -
Bilateral prone external rotation (ER)
THE WHAT:
A convenient pre-/rehabilitation context for developing strength & range in frontal-plane external rotation (ER), and generally contributing toward improved shoulder-stability.It is a valuable context of practice either in addition to, or in place of, UNILATERAL variations which are g...

THE WHAT & HOW:
The specific strengthening of external shoulder-rotation (ER) in different planes of motion is done with an eye toward general development of shoulder-stability & health.These tools become useful as investment in both pushing & pulling strength-projects increases, particularly i...
