Serratus Side Punch
SERRATUS SIDE PUNCH
The serratus side punch exercise is used to dissociate scapular lateral glide and protraction from scapular elevation. Start by raising your arm to roughly shoulder height beside you. Keep your wrist and elbow in neutral position. Begin the exercise by pushing your hand outwards to the side maximally while limiting the amount of shrugging you do with your shoulders. Once you’ve hit your end range, retract the shoulder blades by pulling your arm back inwards to complete a repetition.
