Scaption strengthens the scapula retractors, posterior rotator cuff muscles & the deltoid muscle.
Improves upper body posture.
Start with no weight & gradually progress to very light dumbbells.
Technique is more important than amount of resistance.
Helps to prevent & rehabilitate injuries caused by strength imbalances & poor shoulder biomechanics.
Stand in good posture.

Arms hanging by side.
