Depression? Retraction? Protraction? Bench better with this

[@Lars16]

Keep them coming. This is the most I've ever learnt about shoulder movement and mobility during the bench press in the shortest amount of time.

[@jeremynash9637]

This is by far the best explanation of this issue I’ve seen - I have wasted a fair bit of time trying to just stay retracted the whole time and hurting my shoulders (and resulting in “shrugged” shoulders, so ruining the depression anyway). Thanks Joe!

Realest explanation of all time lol, I love it.

Slight goddamn protraction because the pectoralis major needs to fucking flex

How to keep shoulder depression if I self spot during benchpress?

[@roidwizard2679]

Glad you're alive! I haven't seen you in anything in a long time! Edit: Probably because I don't get on social media often...

[@philosophyandhappiness2001]

Hands down one of the best explanations ive ever seen

[@snorlaxcom]

Lats control the humerus and don't insert onto the scapula. Lower trap controls the scap to actually depress the shoulder. Lat engagement is easier to feel and is a byproduct of actively depressing the scap than engaging the lower trap. A strong leg drive combined with a sticky bench help depress the scap, too.
