Bulletproof your back - Rhomboid and Middle Trapezius Strengthening exercise routine

[@ben-pk4td]

This is really good for you if you have a hunchback

[@deliormanbeylerbeyi]

Thank you. Is seal row most activating rhomboid exercise in this video ?

[@RehabHero]

This is mostly for the latissimus dorsi muscle with the rhomboids being the supporting muscle

[@deliormanbeylerbeyi]

@@RehabHero Thank you, good job !

[@strikerz2668]

Are the shoulder blades lightly squeezed or really hard.??

[@RehabHero]

it depends on your goals, usually we just cue our patients to get enough retraction to squeeze a pencil between your scapula

[@DefeatLust]

Thank you 😊

[@RehabHero]

you're welcome!

[@steveg1830]

What else could you use if you don’t have a bench ?

[@RehabHero]

You can use a Swiss Ball, also known as a yoga ball or stability ball. This works out well if you're on a budget.

[@m1ke896]

Squeeze or not to squeeze shoulder blades?

[@RehabHero]

SQUEEZE! :P

[@andrewilliams7839]

Do you keep scapula retracted on the eccentric or do you just let your back and everything stretch out? And would you retract scapula on the way up?

[@RehabHero]

We usually let the scapula naturally protract as you lower your arms, during the upward phase we are retracting but the main focus isn't only to retract but to pull the weight using the latissimus dorsi
