Thank you to all the PAX that showed up this morning. I hope you had fun and also understand the healthy push-pull movement patterns to prevent injuries for future workouts.
Quick Summary

Scapula aka shoulder blades

Serratus Anterior muscle aka boxer muscle

 

To fully activate these muscles / scapula depression-protraction on the top of the push-up aka plank

Lower the shoulders/ squeeze the elbows together and push and push until your upper back is round and your shoulder blades spread apart

The bottom of the push-up = shoulder blades fully retract by lowering the shoulders and squeezing the elbows together, use that leverage to push up to a high plank.

Also, sending love to all the prayers
