Hey!

I'm quite new to the body of calisthenics, but I've been enjoying it since January and find way more comfortable that I can train at home, than going to the gym. I've got myself very little equipment, but it's enough for what I need at the moment. I've been working through the Primer Routine and in general it's been fine, I've developed from struggling to do 2 sets of 8 reps to do 3 sets of 15 reps on each exercise.

Now, to the problem I'm experiencing. I'm trying to improve my technique with push-ups and also thinking towards pull-ups, which are my goal, and I'm finding it very difficult to activate the scapula. I've seen a few videos, but I still can't grasp it. I am also not very talented at "moving a certain part of the body", so, can you give me some tips on how to achieve this activation? What kind of movement should I expect and what motion do you actually do it to achieve it?
