BANDED UNILATERAL SERRATUS PUNCH | BANDED SINGLE ARM SERRATUS PUNCH
This is a scapular protraction exercise that uses a theraband. Start by holding both ends of the band and wrapping it around your back. Hold one end with a straight hand in front of you with your arm raised to 90 degrees shoulder flexion. While maintaining a neutral thoracic spine and straight arm, push the band forwards by protracting the shoulder blade (moving it forwards).
