I'm currently working on opening the median line. This leads from my chest through the deltoid through the biceps to the forearm and into the thumb of the hand. To do this we must engage the subscapularis and posterior shoulder musculature. I've found this simple shoulder activation series to be instrumental in getting my shoulder going for the day!

I've been using band pull apart to activate this area. I begin by pushing my shoulder joint to the back of the capsule. I'm also sure to place my scapula scapula so it's not winging. This is done by keeping pushing the chest through and keeping a wide upper back. Engaging the lower shoulder musculature - the serratus and lat - helps to anchor the shoulder joint down and ways from the ears.

I then grip the band keeping a radial deviation to feel a strength from thumb side into my forearm. Keeping locked elbows I pull the band apart by engaging the posterior shoulder. This isn't a pinching that closes off the rhomboids. It's about keeping length in the back of the body while engaging it.

Let me know how this helps you move more freely, feel more vital, and perform better in your life!
