@drgains_official: It’s makes you look more ripped than any other muscle does — AND it’s one of the most critical for shoulder health (maybe even the single most critical) — and you’re probably only hitting it indirectly! The serratus anterior is the “shark gill” muscle that separates elite physiques from average ones. Also, a weak SA is one of the most common causes of shoulder injuries, and causes winged scapula. A strong SA is essential for all overhead movements and range of motion, opens up the chest and improves posture, and prevents neck and back pain as well. Some people think it gets worked enough with press exercises, but it’s only a secondary agonist there at best. To get a strong, developed serratus, you need to directly train its 3 different movements: 1️⃣ Protraction (scapula forward around the ribcage). 2️⃣ Abduction (shoulder blades apart). 3️⃣ Upward rotation (full overhead range). In this video I show you how to train all three using cables, free weights, or just bodyweight. This is 9th on my Top 10 Most Underrated Muscles list. Number 7 coming soon — follow so you don’t miss it! #serratusanterior #shoulderhealth #bodybuilding #strengthtraining #fitnessscience
