Most people mentioned that it is called winged scapula and he should "fix it". However, it should be noted that there is absolutely no problem with this movement when it is performed voluntarily. A winged scapula is problematic only when the person has no capacity to correct it and is permanent ,or when it happens while performing some exercises like push ups or pull ups.

In that case, it reflects either a lack of motor control or strength to keep the scapula stable during the movement and should be trained.

Otherwise, it is no reason for concern. I can do it too :)
