In fact, it is the state that the scapula returns to its original position and does not shrug. A similar feeling is like: you push your shoulders outward to your sides (slightly backward 5); There are also great gods sharing that it is similar to the feeling of picking up a stone with a crowbar in your hand.
In fitness exercise, if you don't tighten your shoulder blades or even shrug your shoulders, first, trapezius muscles are easy to compensate and difficult to practice; Secondly, in heavy-load training, especially hard-pull and bench press training, not only the strength can't be exerted, but also the rotator cuff and arm are not very friendly, and even the wrist joint is easy to get injured, so the exercise effect will of course be greatly reduced.
In traditional kung fu training, there is also the mentality of sinking shoulders and lowering elbows, deliberately lowering shoulders, and even raising hands can't make elbows higher than shoulders (this is also very important in fitness and shoulder muscle training).
Another example is the third style "Looking up at the sky with the palm of your hand" in Yijinjing, which actually requires the skills of collarbone pressing down and shoulders sinking.
It can be said that the key to shoulder sinking is knocking at the door. If you really understand the knack of shoulder sinking and can skillfully control and tighten the scapula, it will be an introduction to traditional martial arts training or modern fitness training.
