Did you know that you have the potential to get much bigger faster and add significantly more muscle mass if you stopped overlooking your most hidden source of strength. In this video, I-m going to show you how to start building muscle whether you are a beginner or an advanced lifter by tapping into your true strength potential. The fix lies in paying attention to your straight arm scapular strength. Gymasts are known for their incredible straight arm scapular strength. It is the ability of the body to execute movements while maintaining a straightened arm. These movements most often occur in either the frontal or sagittal plane and require stability through the entire core and shoulder girdle Some of the moves that come immediately to mind are the front lever, front lever raise and the deadlift. You may think that the deadlift is nothing like the front lever. You may be right in terms of how it looks side by side to that exercise. However, when you look at the requirements for performing the lift at it-s strongest, you would immediately recognize just how important your straight arm scapular strength (SASS) is to getting the job done. If you don-t have the ability to pin your arms into your sides while maintaining a tight lower back and stabile upper back during the lift, your deadlift strength will be sapped. I don-t care how strong your lower back and legs are, if you don-t have the strength in your shoulder stabilizers, that will quickly become the weak link in the chain and will cost you your top end strength in the bigger movement. The same thing can happen on the bench press as well. If you don-t have the ability to stabilize your shoulders during the lift, there is nothing firm for your chest muscles to oppose and push off of. It-s like the difference between trying to jump from a hard surface and having to jump off the sand. If you want to get bigger faster, you have to lift heavier weights and do so safely. Your shoulder stabilization will be key to this and your SASS is the overlooked element of training that will help you get there faster. I show you 5 exercises for building straight arm scapular strength in this video. I include beginner and advanced options as well as those you can do with your own bodyweight or with weights. There is no excuse to continue and let your weakness take away from your true strength potential and hold back the muscle gains you should be seeing from your hard workouts. If you want a complete workout plan that trains your body like an athlete and overlooks nothing important while doing so, head to and get the ATHLEAN-X Training System. Feel what it-s like to tap into your muscle strength and potential for perhaps the first time ever and see your best gains ever in the next 90 days

Hello dear Jeff,
Because u talking about strength and power in above video, can you please tell us how to manage for trade guys. I am a chef and many guys around the world are in different trade work(physiclly demanding construction, plumber, etc) but we want to build ideal physique offcourse. You have made many precious and informative video on exercise and diet. If you have not covered then, can u please tell what to consume in terms of food, pre-work out, manage strength and Energy. Is there a way to come over the exhaust and tiredness after working 8 hours a day and then hit the gym, and Sleeping from 7 to 8 hours max and follow same schedule everyday. Besides all the other excerise problems, this is my current and main issue.
How to preserve or enhance energy around working class people and still gain the results. Its gets really tiring after work already, being a chef: (

I broke my right collarbone when I was 14 (27 now) and I always had unequal scapular stability because of this (bad on the left, hilarious on the right lol. I incorporated straight arm pushdowns and noticed the benefits in general (better posture) as well as improved deadlift form although I never stopped and realize these two things are intertwined. Definitely incorporating these into my workouts! Great vid as always!
Now that I'm on it, because of my broken collarbone, the socket of the joint makes it hard to press without losing stability and hurting like hell because its narrower, it would be greatly beneficial to me.

Jeff, question for ya man -
You always seem to come out with good videos on good topics, and you always seem very well-informed on the issues - in fact, you're one of very few sources I actually trust. I'm trying to further educate myself in health/fitness, but I'm always running into problems with finding good sources. Bettering yourself is hard when you don't know what -better- is, and so my question is this:
Where do you get your ideas for your video topics, and where do you learn the information you present to us?
Thanks!

-Summary: - Straight arm scapular strength is important for strength overall. SASS is when you do exercises with arms out in front of you like 0: 46.
-How to build SASS: - At 1: 25 its shown. Keep holding the position as long as possible. At 2: 20 is the 2nd exercise. A harder exercise is 3: 23. Even harder is 3: 42. Even harder is 4: 52.

My bro shared this vid w me and I've been working out for two years even tho it doesn't look like it. I got a bad case of winged scapula and it's so damn frustrating to be held back in the gym and with the gains drastically because of bad winged scapula. Glad to know some ppl still post about specific muscle complications. You earned my sub

Have done the exercise 1 (on the bench) and the push-up-variation for 2 weeks. In the beginning i tought -what is this crap-, but after 2 weeks it feels like i can lift a house. Its a strange but good feeling of strongness in the upper body i feel. Hard to explain: )

i dislocated my shoulder with atrocious form, and extremely weak stabiliser muscles. When i dumbbell bench press, i can even get 14 reps with the dumbbells im using but i cant go up any weight because my stabiliser muscles are too weak.
reply

I swear I can-t do this right, I always feel that straight arm pull down in my triceps but I keep my arms completely straight. Are there any other workouts that jeff didn-t list here that a beginner could do?
reply

What is a good lifting cycle? I have heard many different tips from different sources. Even some of the well known sources differentiate with cycles. So I was wondering what you personally think is best.
