- Serratus anterior is context-dependent rather than inherently good or bad. — Hip Separation, Spinal Extension, and Serratus Anterior
- When the serratus anterior contracts, it can relatively straighten or externally rotate the ribs. — Hip Separation, Spinal Extension, and Serratus Anterior
- More serratus activity is not automatically desirable even if it helps hold the scapula against the thorax. — Hip Separation, Spinal Extension, and Serratus Anterior
