[@matthewtaylor4453]

Great video very helpful

[@AlexRides808]

I just caught a cramp in my whateverthehellitis from doing this.

[@FresnoFitnessTrainer]

Did this exercise in physical therapy, with a band around my wrist, for the treatment for TOS (thoracic outlet syndrome).

[@Michael-ql4iq]

did it help your tos out what other exercises did you do?

[@jbeard8728]

I like this people on here put videos up but never answer anyones questions but want you to help there channel

[@EDGE94]

Please, is this for teaching the sense of motion to the athlete only (movment pattern imagination) or for actually strengthening serratus too?

[@romansokolov4589]

Its both, as well as establishing mind-muscle connection with serratus.

[@ryanhollien3570]

Where did he come up with this stuff? Unreal.

[@jeppebartholomussen9862]

Hi Eric, I have a flat thoraric spine, and unfortunately also pain in the area. Do you recommend other exercises for a flat T-spine? Best Jeppe

[@kevinbrowne3089]

Unfortunately, you can't change your flat t-spine. The kyphosis (amount of curvature) is dictated by the shape of the vertebral bodies. So unless you can bend bone.... I hope you got some help from a physical therapist who specializes in spinal syndromes. If you want to hope for a quick fix, you can try the chiro. Cheers!

[@robertmcmaster2453]

Do exercises for a posterior tilt in the hip girdle..that will help

[@newcastle911ify]

How long, and how often should I do this drill for?

[@romansokolov4589]

As warm up before pushing workout, but also as mush as you want - 3 sets of 10 reps. 1 rep is up-down.

[@Gianluca33672]

do you also teach to keep the scapulae down while reach round rotate?

[@romansokolov4589]

Your upper traps should not be contracted.

[@nathanellison594]

what do you think about putting a band around the forearms to get some external rotation activation?

[@Vervtheswerve]

+nathan ellison Yes. That is done in Brent Brookbush's Serratus Anterior videos

[@usquanigo]

Reach round and rotate.... sounds like an advanced form of the reach 'round. haha!

[@robertmcmaster2453]

Or the second verse of the DodgeBall mantra..'Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive, and Dodge'..
