The serratus anterior plays an important role in scapular upward rotation, posterior tilt, and protraction during overhead movement.
For overhead athletes, developing serratus strength and endurance can help build the capacity needed to handle repetitive throwing demands.
Eccentric training is also associated with improvements in tendon stiffness neural drive and rate of force development all important for speed expression
Here’s a lift from last week with @kolbyrich 2 days post fracturing my throwing hand. Lifting 5-6 days a week and catching with @maxy_do_well multiple times a week‼️
Split-Stance Forward-Facing Low-to-High Cable Lift
Trains trunk strength and control while allowing the scapula to move freely through the pattern.
Useful as accessory work for developing strength and movement quality.
