✨ Build Strong, Resilient Shoulders ✨ Mastering scapular control during pull-ups is key to unlocking advanced gymnastics skills. By learning to engage and move your shoulder blades efficiently, you build strength, stability, and control—essential for kipping, muscle-ups, and other dynamic movements. It’s the foundation for smooth, injury-free progression! The Movements: 1️⃣ Scapular CARs (Controlled Articular Rotations): Mobilize and strengthen your scapular range of motion. Focus on controlled, slow movements to ensure you’re hitting all the corners of your shoulder girdle. 2️⃣ Scapular Pull-Ups: Engage those scapular stabilizers! Start with just the shoulder blades moving up and down—this is the foundation for strong, controlled pull-ups. 3️⃣ Active Hang: Elevate your hang by actively engaging your shoulder blades. This strengthens scapular control and is a great progression for pull-ups and gymnastics movements. 4️⃣ Kip Swing: Introduce momentum with the kip swing! This movement will help you develop the core and shoulder stability necessary for kipping pull-ups and dynamic gymnastics skills. 5️⃣ Pull-Ups: The ultimate test of upper-body strength and coordination. Progressions are key—use bands or adjust reps to match your skill level. 💡 Pro Tip: Prioritize form over reps. A solid foundation leads to long-term gains and fewer injuries. 🙌 📢 Ready to try this?
