Hi Daniel, you should maybe consider getting the subtitles corrected on here, check out the first few seconds and see what the autogenerated one do to your name, you'll either laugh or get them changed, maybe both.

Top notch Dan 👍 The scapula pulls are essential for proper pull up preparation - it’s very hard to do proper vertical pulling when that scapula isn’t fired up! 🔥 (loving these vids btw)

[@supersaiyanzero386]

Scapula stuff is so important. I stopped facepull and scap pull ups and my back is like an angel. Facepulls start back today Always let your hands beat your elbows!! Push up for scap activation in TuT is great. Edit, serratus, basically push up then push up more. That gives more squeeze. Also push the floor together. Go slow if youre doing for building Try a very slow lowering while pushing hands together. 15-30 seconds on your last rep of a set. Trust me! And do holds in the middle. That variety is key. AthleanX has tons of good vids on how to learn it

FitnessFAQs Hi Daniel, I had a very bad wrist injury during an accident some month ago, when I lost my very advance wrist mobility. I remember that you have a big wrist injury aswell, so would you make a very precise video about what you did to fix your wrist perfectly step by step exatly? *Thank you a lot from Italy.*

[@billybarinnas7587]

Hey, what kind of injury, fracture, luxation, subluxation bursitis etc, but I'm sure, you need to visit some center of physiotherapy ! The therapist should helps you a lot ! But before that, just make - X-RAY even MRI ( magnetic resonance imaging ) to see the soft tissues. Get well soon ! :)

[@TwskiTV]

I would be very interested in a video on the subject aswell

[@rikybologna3579]

Billy Barinnas Hi Billy, thank you about your gently concerns. I reported a very bad ulna subluxation that broken many ligaments (ulnar-carpal collateral ligament, dorsal radiocarpal ligament, the wall of triangular fibrocartilage and scapholunate ligament become thinner) plus scaphoid fracture, with a bit semilunate rotation (because their ligament became thinner), and both "capsules" of wrist (under and over) swollen. In addition, the RMN reported semilunar and pyramidal edema both, but they weren't fractured. Scaphoid fracture interested its distal portion, so I was lucky, because it's the part much more mosten by blood, so it doesn't risked necrosis. I had a plaster cast for 45 days, and then a removable brace for more 21 days. Nowdays I'm doing daily phisiotherapy, with tecarterapia, laser and mobilization, but I'm very far away by my precedent wrist mobility. The goal is understand how much joint movement is denied by adhesions formed after ligamens tissue cicatrizations, so where we'll can arrive with physiotherapy, and then evaluate surgery if necessary. I'm lucky to live nearby one of the most important hand hospital of the word, and one of the many doctors who evaluate my hand fix Casey Stoner wrist in 2008, so I'm sure he'll can do a very good surgery if it'll be necessary, however I hope I won't need it. PS: sorry if I wrang many english words translation, but it's complicated for me, about anatomic words in particular.

Best cali channel on internet right now! Your knowledge is huge my firiend and videos are not just some clickbaits for more views but real content that we learn a LOT from. Is there any chance that you will release whole series of proper form excersises? I watched your pike pushup video and my workout changed drastically! Internet lacks in for example headbanger pullup progression and it would be cool to see videos explaining how to progress to achive this excersise, but also variations, perfect form, how to negative for benefits etc. One more time thx for sharing all of this with us!

[@cantankerouspatriarch4981]

For the band pullaparts, start with thumbs up then rotate shoulders externally until thumbs are pointing backwards. Hand ending position should be higher than shoulder level at neck, chin, or even ear height.

[@cantankerouspatriarch4981]

Retraction, external rotation, and depression is less effective than retraction, external rotation, and elevation for shoulder health.

Please do a build a foundation series for optimal development/growth / movement!! This is so paramount!! So important for fully functional strength!! / movement!!!

[@MicaelPereira]

I never get pains or discomfort in the shoulders, like many people complain about. I think it was because I did shoulder mobility work, and hanging when I started to workout. One of the hanging variations I did was what you show in this video as Scapula Pulls.

[@imzxin5375]

Coach, your videos are transformative! I have over 45 years of accomplishment across american football, powerlifting, strongman and Crossfit, but have never been able to activate my scapula complex. Your videos are the first that really address a protocol to fix this. Question - you advise 2-3x/week for these movements in other videos; can I do them every day, to try and jump start the mind/body connection of activating the lower traps and other scap movers? Wall slides, YTWL, etc as well as the exercises on this video?

how to balance between flexibility and mobility and bodybuilding and stamina and strength and calisthenics movement and stay injury free? I am just lost. any advice?

[@jasonvoorhees8899]

.

[@gracefool]

The best way is to overlap things. You can do most of that stuff all at the same time. For instance use calisthenics movements for bodybuilding, focus on strength and you will get size as a side-effect, use full range of motion so that your flexibility and mobility increases along with your strength. Do stability exercises like these in between your strength sets so your workout doesn't take any longer. Warmdown using active stretching. Run or cycle to the gym, or do cardio on rest days. Etc

[@finnianmurphy3053]

Hi Daniel, great tips my man. I've noticed personally that when hanging and engaging the abs with anterior pelvic tilt, I find it possible to depress the scapula but virtually impossible to retract it. Hence when I try pullups like this my scapula protracts somewhat and I don't feel a strong contraction in the lats. Any advice good sir?

[@finnianmurphy3053]

posterior pelvic tilt*

[@adrianmetcalfe4346]

Hey Finian. Nice question! Made me curious! Muscles that retract scapula are: rhomboids major and minor, and trapezius, so (if I've got this right), with scapular depression pretty much it's the inferior fibres of trapezius that are doing retraction. Tried taking load off (but in pull up position), then depressing and retracting to train the trapezius in that position? Something similar to this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6DUdH5pnaend7c (Daniels' vid on back). Also - it might be that because you've brought the GH joint lower (and possible more posterior) when depressing the scapula, you've shortened the distance for lats to work so you can no longer feel the contraction? Third option is I'm talking a load of rubbish :-)
