SHOULDERS
Wall Shoulder Stretch
The wall shoulder stretch opens up the shoulders by hinging your hips back while your hands stay high on a wall. It improves flexibility and range of motion through the shoulder joint. It works well for relieving tension and prepping the shoulders before overhead or upper-body training.
How to do it
- 1
Stand about an arm's length from a wall with feet shoulder-width apart or slightly wider.
- 2
Lean in and place your hands on the wall as high as you can reach.
- 3
Slowly fold forward and push your hips back as if starting a deadlift, letting your hands slide down the wall as you sink deeper.
- 4
Keep a slight bend in your arms and draw your shoulder blades down your back.
- 5
You should feel the stretch through your shoulders; only go as far as your flexibility allows.
- 6
Hold the position for the set duration.
