Performing a shoulder press in the scapular plane has several advantages: • 1. Decreased Impingement Risk: The scapular plane (approximately 30-45 degrees forward from the frontal plane) more closely aligns with the natural orientation of the glenohumeral joint. This positioning can decrease the risk of impinging the rotator cuff tendons, specifically the supraspinatus, against the acromion. • 2. Better Joint Congruency: Pressing in the scapular plane allows for optimal joint congruency. This can lead to better force transmission and potentially a decreased risk of injury. • 3. Mimics Functional Movements: Many daily overhead activities and sports-specific movements occur in or near the scapular plane. Training in this plane can have functional carryover to these activities. • 4. Improved Scapulohumeral Rhythm: Training in the scapular plane can promote a better coordinated movement between the scapula and the humerus, which is essential for optimal shoulder function. • 5. Comfort: Many individuals find pressing in the scapular plane to be more comfortable than strict frontal or sagittal plane pressing, especially those with pre-existing shoulder issues. • Incorporating various planes of motion into a training program can add variety, which might reduce the risk of overuse injuries and help overcome plateaus. As with any exercise, it’s important to use proper technique and progress appropriately. • #scapularplane #shoulders
