SHOULDERS

Loop Band Overhead Shoulder Stretch

BeginnerResistance band

This mobility drill uses a loop band to add light tension while you take your shoulders through a full overhead arc. The resistance keeps your arms wide and encourages a fuller range of motion, making it a good warm-up before pressing.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Stand with feet a bit wider than your shoulders and knees softly bent.

  2. 2

    Hold a loop band with both hands, palms down; a narrower grip makes it harder.

  3. 3

    Raise your arms straight overhead and pull outward to keep tension on the band.

  4. 4

    Sweep your arms back and down toward your lower back in a wide arc.

  5. 5

    Reverse the arc, bringing the band back over your head and down to the front.

  6. 6

    Continue the circular motion for the desired reps.
