Fixed Bar Back Stretch
One hand on a fixed bar, sit back into a quarter squat and let the arm draw the blade forward; the upper back ROUNDS.
How to do it
Setup
Facing a fixed bar, one hand on it at navel height, feet hip-width and close in.
Steps
- Sit back into a quarter squat.
- Let the arm go long and the blade slide forward.
- Hold and breathe, then stand up and switch hands.
Common mistakes
Squeezing the blade back: let it slide forward; that is the stretch. Dropping back with a jerk: ease in and stop at a pull. Squatting deep: a quarter squat is enough.
Breathing
Slow and even through the hold.
