Scapular Stability
As a baseball player, we realize the demands on the shoulder complex and overall scapular stability. With 17 muscular attachments, the scapula needs to upwardly rotate, abduct + adduct, and anteriorly + posteriorly tilt correctly to minimize the risk for injury. We have programmed for these demands in order to keep your shoulders healthy.

Are there other programs available?
This program focuses on a number of traits concurrently. That being said, we can definitely program for specific weaknesses or if you want to build on a particular strength (strength, hypertrophy, etc.). Feel free to send us a message on our instagram page or email us.
What if I do not have equipment available to complete some exercises?
Contact us in the case that you need a modification. We will make sure that the substitute exercise provides a similar stimulus and adaptation as the original one.
