טיפים לביצוע Scapula Retraction Protraction

  • **Controlled Movement**: This exercise is not about speed but about control. Perform the retraction and protraction movements slowly and deliberately. Avoid jerky movements, as this can strain your muscles and lead to injury. Concentrate on the muscles you are working and make sure they are doing the work, not momentum.
  • **Full Range of Motion**: Make sure to fully retract and protract your scapulae. A common mistake is to not go through the full range of motion. This can limit the effectiveness of the exercise and even lead to muscle imbalances over time.
  • **Breathing Technique**: Breathe out as you retract your scapula
