Okay.
Alright, so flipping around to the anterior delts.
Okay, so we have here in my purple hot pink
and light pink here.
The medial, middle and lateral portion of the anterior delt.
So the uh medial portion here is going
to pull more across.
So that's basically gonna be our length
and thoracic position basically coming up
and towards the mouth.
Okay. And then if I was stretching those guys, right,
these guys here, it would be coming basically back
and around like so basically what we would be doing
for the thoracic lots, okay, for these guys here,
the hot pink, which would be the middle portion.
Okay? He, this is not gonna let me take him all the way up,
but if you can imagine this is mostly sagittal right here.
If I could continue to bring this up,
it would go towards his eyebrow
and I know his broken wrist looks f*****g weird.
I feel bad for him, right?
But it would be coming basically towards the brow. Okay?
If we look at the light pink here,
which would be the lateral portion of the anterior delt.
So it's now has almost a little bit
of an ab deduction set up.
So that's gonna actually be coming up more so just
inside the scapular plane
and it would be coming like arm towards the ear.
So if I steal Cody again so that I can move his shoulder
for you guys, right?
So the medial portion here
is gonna be coming more across
and up towards the mouth,
especially if he protracts the scap.
Now if we're doing just the delts,
you don't necessarily need to focus on the protraction
to shorten it, but if we are in end range scapula, basically
that scapula's gonna be at a stable end
range for you to work at.
So we could argue that if we're doing the delt stuff,
you don't have to like try to move the scap,
'cause the delts don't move the scap.
But it might be beneficial for you to at least be mindful of
what's happening at the scapula and be consistent with that.
My goal is teach people what to do to the arm.
So if I want them to protract more, instead of telling them
to like actually do the protraction,
what I'm gonna do is I'm just gonna tell them
to bring their bicep around further so
that they're aiming the arm
and they're letting their nervous system just kind of
unconsciously manage the scapular position.
They're not trying to consciously do something
with the scapula and that the arm at the same time,
I'm just gonna cue them to do something with the arm
that would either give them a little bit more
or less protraction retraction for what I wanted.
Okay? That way they're always focused on just moving one
thing to one point
and not trying to micromanage the scapular motion.
Okay? If we move to the middle portion of the anterior delt,
okay, so now we're gonna be coming up towards the eyebrow,
then we move to the lateral portion of the anterior delt.
Okay? So that's gonna be a little bit more,
so it's not gonna be a frontal plane motion here,
it's gonna be if scapular plane is here,
it's gonna be like slightly inside this
and now his arm would coming be coming up basically towards
his ear.
