Video coming soon...

The suspension trainer scapula pull up workout is a shoulder-focused exercise that utilizes the suspension trainer.

The suspension trainer allows for a full range of motion, targeting the shoulders and upper back muscles.

By engaging the scapula muscles, this workout helps improve shoulder stability and posture.

While the suspension trainer also works the biceps and core, its primary focus is on the shoulders.

Stand facing the suspension trainer with your feet shoulder-width apart.
Hold the handles of the suspension trainer with an overhand grip, palms facing down.
Lean back, keeping your body straight and your arms extended.
Engage your shoulder blades by pulling them down and back, while keeping your arms straight.
Bend your elbows and pull your body up towards the handles, keeping your shoulder blades engaged.
Pause briefly at the top of the movement, then slowly lower your body back to the starting position.
Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

Start by adjusting the suspension trainer to a suitable height, ensuring that the handles are at shoulder level when standing. This will allow for a full range of motion and proper engagement of the shoulders throughout the exercise.
Begin the scapula pull up exercise by gripping the handles with an overhand grip, palms facing away from you. Keep your arms straight and shoulder-width apart, maintaining a strong and stable core.
Initiate the movement by retracting your shoulder blades, squeezing them together as you pull your body upward. Focus on using your shoulder muscles to drive the movement, rather than relying solely on your arms. This will help to improve your shoulder engagement and strengthen the surrounding muscles.
As you pull yourself up, aim to bring your chest towards the handles, keeping your elbows close to your body. This will further activate your shoulder muscles and promote proper form. Avoid shrugging your shoulders or allowing your body to swing excessively.
Lower yourself down with control, fully extending your arms and allowing your shoulder blades to protract. Maintain tension in your shoulders throughout the entire exercise, focusing on the mind-muscle connection. Remember, consistency and patience are key to improving your form and building shoulder strength!
