SHOULDERS
Wall Slide Stretch
BeginnerBodyweight
A simple wall drill that opens the shoulders and upper back. Keeping your arms in contact with the wall forces good positioning as you reach overhead, which loosens the joints before pressing or overhead work.
How to do it
- 1
Stand tall with feet about hip to shoulder width, then press your hips, lower back, and elbows flat against a wall.
- 2
Set your forearms vertical against the wall with elbows bent, palms facing forward.
- 3
Slide both arms upward along the wall until they straighten overhead.
- 4
Keep your arms touching the wall the whole way up.
- 5
Slide back down to the start and feel the stretch through your shoulders and chest.
