The title of this post tells it all!
- The real, right way to position your hands for maximal muscle recruitment (it’s not how you learned it!)
- The TRUTH about the rhombiods
- The correct way to position your scapulas while doing T’s. Hint – It’s not hold them together like every one else tells you!
All of that and more is revealed in the video below!

Coach Tumminello,
What do you think lead to the initial recommendation to have the thumbs pointing back during “T’s”……was it to limit the contribution of the posterior deltoids?
I Think it was in order to provide an added benefit of external shoulder rotation while contracting the scaps.
I was taught that many people have overactive rhomboids and the purpose of externally rotating was to preferentially recruit the middle trapezius during the T’s and diminish the contribution of the rhomboids. Is this accurate?
What research are you using to base these movement point on?
