What are good exercises for the serratus anterior???

[Banshee20]

If Im not mistaken, the serratus anterior works synergistically(together) with the upper and lower traps to provide mobility and stability during shoulder elevation.

Exercises such as behind the neck press, front raises, military press, arnold press, incline shoulder press should serve to work the serratus anterior. A good body weight exercise for the serratus anterior would be a push-up(specifically deep push-ups into the negative).

Not a problem! :) The serratus anterior is mainly a stabilizer. Im interested to see what other people say. Hopefully I have it right! Also..I forgot one of the best exercises for the muscle, Pullovers!!!! :Banane13:

pullovers probably get it the best. you could try jack knifes or w/e their called and hangine leg raises might hit them a little.

[Q80_MuscleHed]

your serratus already works with pressing movements like chests or shoulders

[Blond Bomber]

Declined bench does the trick mele.
