- At the bottom of each repetition, the shoulder blade should fully reach forward. — Supported Single-Arm Row for Upper-Body Pulling Strength
- Completing the full reach at the bottom allows the shoulder blade to move through the full rowing pattern. — Supported Single-Arm Row for Upper-Body Pulling Strength
- The rowing motion should originate from the shoulder blade, not the arm. — Supported Single-Arm Row for Upper-Body Pulling Strength
- At the top of the row, the shoulder blade is pulled back. — Supported Single-Arm Row for Upper-Body Pulling Strength
- Scapular retraction is initiated before the pressing movement by pulling the shoulder blades down and back. — Dumbbell Press Form Guide
- Pulling the shoulder blades down and back creates a slight arch in the upper back. — Dumbbell Press Form Guide
- The slight upper-back arch produced by scapular retraction is the correct base position before initiating the press. — Dumbbell Press Form Guide
