Rotator Cuff Stability for Overhead Pressing

The glenohumeral joint is inherently unstable, relying heavily on the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and subscapularis for centration in the socket. Without adequate upward scapular rotation from the serratus anterior, overhead loads grind against the acromion process.

Key Biomechanical Principles

• Takeaway: Incorporate kettlebell bottoms-up presses to trigger reflexive rotator cuff firing.
• Takeaway: Cue active reach and serratus activation at the top of every overhead repetition.
• Takeaway: Warm up with face pulls and prone Y-raises before handling pressing loads.
