Written By David Song

BENT OVER Y RAISE

This exercise is used to target the lower fibers of the trapezius muscle to support proper scaption. You may alternative use an exercise band instead of weights by stepping on the middle of the band as an anchor point. Bend over until your hands are at knee height by keeping a soft bend in the knees, hinging at the hips and keeping the back neutral. Without using momentum, raise both arms forward and overhead in a ‘Y’ shaped pattern, roughly at 130 degrees of shoulder abduction.

Muscles Involved:

  • Lower Trapezius

  • Deltoids

  • Rotator Cuff

  • Levator Scapulae

Related Conditions:

  • Shoulder Impingement

  • Rotator Cuff Tear

  • Upper Cross Syndrome
