Squatting, benching and deadlifting are great to increase the squat, bench and deadlift. One muscle we will tend to notice less developed in pure powerlifters is the serratus, vs weightlifters, Strongman competitors and calisthenics athletes.
Most people don't know this but front raises also work the serratus. Overhead press can be bad for the shoulders so heed with caution. Pullovers seem to work the serratus as well and you can do press shrugs on a bench where you hold your arms extended like you just finished a bench press but you 'overextend' your arms just a few inches so your shoulders start to lift off the bench.
Anyone interested in the development and moreso the function of this muscle should check out “Melbourne Strength Culture” and their videos on reaching and it’s importance. Crazy
Omar, I do Olympic lifting and a lot of overhead pressing movements. I don’t bench press too often. I have a very pronounced Serratus on the left side. But lacking development on the right. And my right scapular/trapezius/clavicular region is often tight and injury prone. What can I do to better develop the right serratus and fix my problems?
I noticed i feel serratus after lowering weight on dumbell bench. I get lower, push more with lower part of ribcage and control muscles better. So I am practically benching deeper. I love doing push ups on handles, but that rather applies a good stretch to mu pecs than force on sers.
I'm only here because I stumbled across one of your videos from 7 years ago and wanted to see if you were still beautiful. The answer is yes, yes you are. Alrighty, carry on.

How can we remedy this?
I love strict ohp.
My goal is to lift my bodyweight overhead and I'm nearly there. Whoop whoop
Does it have to be overhead press? What about bodybuilding hammer press, etc?
I've focused exclusively on my serratus for years. My physique is bizarre.
Spot on! These and pullovers build them so much and personally I see neither done much these days when machines are everywhere
A weak serratus anterior can also cause impingement too
this muscle is also useful for anyone throwing a punch 👊
Calves?
Whats cracking guys, Oh what you saw here….
RIP zyzz brah

Yo let’s get our boy 100k likes. We spend 6 minutes watching and probably more looking through comments, why not flip a like

Wanna develop the serratus anterior? Then learn to punch correctly and punch a lot.
Boxers & martial artists also tend to have well developed serratus’ (?) 💥🥊💪
OHP is for the real ones.
Me n my friends call em Wings 😂

Very interesting, thanks
Do your push ups, do your pushups,do your fucking pushups.
Omar talking about muscles he forgot existed because he didn't see them for years. Maybe one day he will remember calfs
I push press, ohp and z press, but I also train strongman so these are essential movements for my sport.
This dude I used to lift with called them “riblets”
Call the serratus "the stairway to heaven"
