Shoulder sinking is a posture training action, which can be understood as sliding shoulder drooping. The shoulders sink, the neck is naturally elongated, the upper body is relatively short, the noble head is naturally raised, and the good visual effect is beyond ordinary people. Shoulder sinking means that all muscle groups around the shoulder strap contract together to stabilize the shoulder strap in a neutral position.
Therefore, many dancers must pay attention to the training of back muscle contraction in pursuit of aesthetic feeling. Sinking shoulders can reduce the excessive tension of shoulders and neck, stretch neck, enhance the strength of back, greatly stretch neck lines and back lines, and present aesthetic feeling. To be very natural and relaxed, dancers should keep their shoulders down even when they are not dancing, even in normal life, which makes people feel that you are always tall and handsome.
Key points of practicing shoulder sinking
Generally speaking, shoulder sinking is accomplished by leading forward and retracting backward the shoulder joint. This can make our pectoralis major muscles contract better, so as to achieve the effect of chest training. Generally speaking, when we sink our shoulders, we should pay attention to our shoulders and try not to sway from side to side. You don't have to say that your shoulders are particularly tight, just keep an angle and fix them.
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. 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, even the wrist joint is easy to get injured, and the exercise effect will of course be greatly reduced.
