Take Care of your Shoulders for a Bigger Bench

November 3, 2011 By Gregor Winter

Pec MinorOver at Elite FTS Joe Giandonato takes care of your Shoulder Issues so you can get your bench on.

Main Points:

#1 Don’t neglect the pec minor

  • it plays a major role in scapular protraction, depression, and downward rotation of the scapula
  • tight pec minor can lead to poor upward rotation of the scapula, thereby affecting pressing and rowing performance
#2 Strengthen the rotator cuff to counterbalance the actions of the powerful pecs and lats

Filed Under: bench press, pecs, prehab, shoulder
