Shoulder-Blade Position in Overhead Movements

Explains overhead scapular positioning and the need for non-overhead options when members experience impingement.

Coaching videos

Majority of Orangetheory movements we cue shoulder blades back and down. This a is a rare one where scaps are elevated and outwardly rotated to make space for the humerus. Still some members will experience impingement so we need to readily have options to accommodate not going overhead but still maintaining the stimulus is rotation through the shoulder joint.
