Counterbalance Corrections
We often use an anterior counterbalance to improve an athlete’s ability to get depth, particularly on squat patterns. However, I’ve found that cueing a reach at the same time gets us even higher quality movement. A quality reach drives the scapula into rotation around the rib cage via the serratus anterior instead of just a dump into scapular anterior tilt. Think of it as the difference between an active and passive counterbalance. As you can see in the video on the right, adding a light band can help an athlete feel that reach better.
