Arms Stretch on a Support
Half-kneeling with the back to wall bars, both straight arms hold a rung behind at shoulder height; the chest and the fronts of the shoulders open.
How to do it
Setup
Half-kneeling a short step in front of wall bars, back to them, hands gripping a rung behind at shoulder height.
Steps
- Keep the arms straight and the grip wide.
- Press the chest forward and up until the fronts of the shoulders stretch.
- Hold and breathe, then switch the front leg.
Common mistakes
Shoulders rolling forward: draw the blades together before the chest goes forward. Arching the lower back instead: keep the ribs down and move from the upper back. Gripping a rung above the shoulders: hold at shoulder height, no higher.
Breathing
Slow and even through the hold.
