Exploring Scapular Depression Muscles! ✨ In this movement, the scapula is depressed while the arms are fixed on the parallel bars in a closed kinetic chain (CKC), causing the body to lift upwards! Here’s how each muscle contributes: 👉 Lower Trapezius: Pulls the scapula down and stabilizes it. 👉 Latissimus Dorsi: Helps lift the body by depressing the scapula when the arms are fixed. 👉 Serratus Anterior: Holds the scapula against the rib cage and assists in downward rotation. 👉 Pectoralis Mino

💥Scapular Movements💥 🎯 Scapular (shoulder blade) movements can be confusing, so I hope this video makes it a little easier to understand 💯 The scapula contains the "socket" of the shoulder joint, so it's positioning and movements are important to consider when talking about shoulder mechanics 💥 Elevation: scapula "elevates" in the frontal plane 📌 Muscles: Upper Trapezius, Levator Scapulae, Rhomboids (Major and Minor) 💥 Depression: scapula "drops down" in the frontal plane 📌 Muscles: Lowe
