What focus should be taken with the shoulders during the Leg Pull exercise?

During the Leg Pull exercise, a key focus is to limit the elevation of the scapulae. This is essential for maintaining proper alignment and stability throughout the exercise. By keeping the scapulae from elevating excessively, you ensures that the shoulders are positioned correctly and helps engage the back muscles effectively. This focus contributes to a stable base from which to perform the exercise, allowing the core and gluteal muscles to be more effectively activated.

Limiting scapular elevation also helps prevent unnecessary strain on the neck and shoulder areas, promoting safer movement patterns and reducing the risk of injury. Moreover, it encourages awareness of the shoulder girdle's position, enhancing overall body control during the exercise, which is critical for achieving the full benefits of the Leg Pull.
