“Squeezing the shoulder blades together” or “pulling shoulders back” (retraction) causes our arms to shorten. This prevents us from keeping our arms lengthened, grabbing the bar and activating our lats efficiently. We tend to use the cue “armpits to pelvis” to engage the lats (which attach to our pelvis) and assist with lifting the weight safely and effectively. ——- For more info or to find out how we can work together DM me or email me at krista@mindtomuscle.com.au | Krista Antoniou
