DEEP SQUAT ROTATIONS
This is a thoracic mobility exercise that is sport specific to the squat. Start by squatting down to the bottom of your squat and give yourself added support by placing one hand on the floor. While holding this position, rotate your torso and reach towards the ceiling with your free arm and hand. Hold this position for 2-4 seconds before alternating sides. This exercise is typically used as a warm up to open up your shoulders and back to hold a barbell.
