How To Do A Seated Cable Scapular Retraction With Straight Bar Exercise Demonstration Video and Guide
The Seated Cable Scapular Retraction With Straight Bar is a short range of motion exercise that is focused on creating a mind to muscle connection of squeezing and retracting your shoulder blades.
Try this before your next back training day.
To get started:
- Sit down at a cable machine with a pulley on a low setting connected to a straight bar.
- Grip the straight bar with shoulder width overhand grip.
- While keeping your arms straight, keep your chest up, and back perpendicular to the ground.
- Rather than bending your elbows to pull the bar towards you, under control, slowly pull your shoulder blades as far back as possible and squeeze them together.
- Pause, the reverse the movement back to the starting position.
- Repeat.
