Serratus Anterior
Anyone done this exercise b4. Anyone see any point to it. Do you think the SA muscles get hit well enough from other exercises?

all he is doing is shoulder protraction. it is a great exercise for shoulder re-had and scapula stabalizer (like the serratus) strengthening. You don't have to do it on an incline. it can be done on a regular bench or a chest press machine.

Do you think the exercise has a place in a BB's routine?

push ups would be much better to target the serratus anterior IMO.

yes and no. Originally Posted by crazy_enough

Now first, there are a lot of exercises that will hit these muscles but, if they are weak already then these exercises wont help them much and will probably lead to injury. Take for example the bench press. If your scapula stabalizers are weak you may run into problems like shrugging your shoulders to much, not keeping your shoulder blades back, flarring you elbows etc......that can lead to a variety of injuries including but not limited to impingment or muscle tear.
Also, when I do push ups or bench press I don't protract like that and let my shoulder round!!! That would be placing to much load a small muscle.Optimum Sports Performance
