This is a shoulder and upper back strengthening exercise. Keep a soft bend in your knees and hinge forwards at the hips until your hands are roughly at knee height while holding a neutral spine. Bend your elbows and raise the weight outwards and up above shoulder height. Use minimal to no momentum for maximum muscle contraction.

  • Rotator Cuff (Infraspinatus, Teres Minor)

  • Posterior Deltoid

Related Conditions:

  • Shoulder Impingement

  • Rotator Cuff Tear, Tendinitis, or Tendinopathy
