    Elbow back

    Hi Taco.

    Is it any better now? I tried to pull the elbow a little bit more and from time to time I was focusing an a scapula.

    Common Mistake:

    No scapula activation

    Severity:

    Moderate (2/4)

    Exercise:

    Hardstyle Snatch (RKC)

    Mistake

    The scapulae are not active, the upper back is rounded, and the shoulders are falling forward.

    Solution

    Pull the scapulae together (adduction) and pull them down (depression). This action will push the chest out and the shoulders back.

    Description

    Inactive scapulae can be the result of a weak back, lack of mind-muscle connection, or fatigue. The scapulae should be pulled down (scapula depression) and slightly pulled together (scapula adduction) to create a good solid structure to do things like snatches, jerks, presses, and anything else overhead.

    Not only does it allow one to exert more force, lift more, be more powerful, and stay safe, but it also creates strength which is one of the main reasons to resistance train. Keeping the scapulae inactive does not work the back muscles and does not create strength where we need it the most.

    The following video(s) cover this common mistake.
