Scapula Mobilization Routine

[82Bdog]

should you do these before any upperbody routine or just when doing alot of handstands?

[boby6]

o wtf your arms bend so far back. Mine can go like just barely behind me and looks more like they are straight to the sides

[skizzie]

Is this safe to do if you have shoulder impingement syndrome

[8254988]

Can your arm pop our if you can do the shoulder dislocates?

[8254988]

@8254988

Cant not can, sorry



[danamdkny]

I love that you have this gym space. NY has many great things, but space is at such a premium here!

[basic212]

How many sets/reps of each and how often?

[jacks0004]

How do the whippets work for shoulder health?

[boombapswag92]

shoulder dislocations wtf does that mean u dislocate it?

[superpiccirillo]

Sorry if this has already been asked but what elastic band are you using for the exercises, the black/red one and the blue one?

I'm 5 months post op after 2 shoulder operations (laterjet and an arothoscopy) , your exerices look great and like they are really challenging progressions. Great scapula control, I hope one day to be able to have the same!

Hey i have to do exercises to help my scapula where i squeeze my shoulder blades together and raise my arms from different psoitions. I also have to squeeze my scapula and hold for 30 seconds. When doing these, should i try to squeeze my scapula together as much as possible as if i was trying to hold a pencil? Thanks.

thks for giving this video......

[bongoloid77]

Excellent video... no BS just demos

[brazilianspiritzz]

what's the difference of the functions between Rhomboid Major/minor and Mid Trapezius?

[tyciol]

Your scap definition let me better understand how they rotate when the arms go overhead, it's hard to get without seeing them in motion like that.

@portaldo Is it okay if I use a single strap elastic band with the Scapula Push Ups?

Also, can I do this routine and also your should ROM routine without warming up first (like running or jumping rope)? I wouldn't like to hurt my joints =/

Thanks a lot Ido!

[3runMX]

I mean, shoulder ROM routine*.

[olivestrip]

Ido,

I have been using this routine and your scapular stability routine as part of a warm-up for my handbalancing - I like them very much. Thank you for sharing. Just one question, have you ever thought about posting a video of a general warmup/mobility drills? Perhaps the movements you feel are the most critical? I think some beginners (including myself) could benefit from it.

Thanks again! You're very inspiring.

Good exercises !, by the way, it's good that you put Algerian music for you video, i am Algerian. Keep up the good work.

[utubesqueeze]

@portaldo What are the blue bands you use if they are not Thera Band tubing, please? I just tried the Blue (Extra Heavy) Thera Bands and they were far too stretchy. They are fine for the dislocates and inlocates but not for the overhead straight arm pull down. I'm considering whether to buy the Black (Special Heavy) or the top Silver (Super Heavy) Thera Band tubing but yours looks better.

[tyranttbc69]

thanks so much for this video, i have this knot between my shoulder blades and these exercises should help rehab it

[dospooks]

Thank you very much for posting this. I recently injured my labrum, probably while doing some rotations in/out of bridge that I didn't perform/build up to properly. I've seen a lot of stuff about "packing the shoulder" on the net. Do you do these excercises conciously keeping your scapula low? (I can see that you give it full range medial/lateral). Great videos, thanks again.

[abcpabcp]

Hey Ido, do you know about Thera Bands? do they work for this routine?. I have recently ripped my scapular muscles... i'm about 4 weeks without exercises, and these bands are the only ones in the market available round here in Peru.

I'm fine by now: no pain, but no trainning for a while.

[portaldo]

@abcpabcp Thera Bands may be good, but test them first and make sure you get enough tension out of them. For me, even the stronger ones are a bit too easy, but it may be suitable for you. Quick and painless recovery to you, my friend.

[abcpabcp]

@portaldo So it will be, thanks a lot Ido!

[heianees]

Hi Ido, just wondering which song Souad Massi performs her?

Also; Thank you for all the knowledge you share with the world!

Sincerely

Você ficou assim só treinando capoeira e com exercicios de elastico ou fez exercicios com pesos também? Pq senão começo com capoeira hoje mesmo..hehe. Academia pra mim é algo muito frustrante...pouco dinâmico.

Abraços

[kulza23]

Mmm... delicious shoulder flexibility.

[slizzardman]

Awesome. I've noticed that in the week since I've started regularly working my rotator cuff muscles, my muscleups have gone from painful to painless, I have more power, and I can almost do slow muscleups on a straight bar. Pretty exciting! I can't wait to see what improvements come with this scapular mobilization! This will really help my voyage into the world of floreio. Thanks again, Ido!

[Andythefunkman]

who are you ?

thanks

[mori230]

Thanks for sharing some scapula mobility drills with us :)

[gainera2582]

Very well detailed. I need to get my shoulders flexbility and mobilty back on par after years of neglecting it(too much internal rotator work). Looking forward to future vids!!!

[ozespreit]

how are caled those red strips?

[portaldo]

Deuser Band. It is a very high quality german product. A similar product available on the internet for purchase are 'Iron Woody bands'.

[ozespreit]

thanks.

[jube73]

Now these are great and classic gymnastics specific exercises!!! will be reintegrated into my warmup/ prehab routine! Thanks Ido!

[portaldo]

Yuv, actualy I did not learn them from any gymnastics coach, but from some old school, traditional exercise trainers. Cable and heavy duty elastics has been used by physical culturists for some time now.
