I asked one of the trainers at the gym for some advice about some additional movements for scapular strengthening. He showed me one that I did a lot of today. I don't really know how to explain it exactly. The machine that has two adjustable pulley attachments/towers on either side that I always see people doing standing flyes/cable cross in....I used that one. Set the cables at shoulder height, grabbed the handles, and then did the same motion that is used to finish the negative for a bench press...more or less. The resistance is in the opposite direction, but it's the same movement. I love that exercise. I had a great mind-muscle connection and good muscle activation, I think. Can't wait to start moving some heavy weight...intensity is still low even though my volume has been uncompromisingly low. I'm still getting more healthy though. One step at a time.
