This exercise, which I got from @realgame.athletics, is a fantastic exercise for warming up the shoulders. This exercise is also great for hand-eye coordination. This exercise could be great for baseball players, other athletes, and the general population.
You will not need to use much weight to make this challenging and effective. This was my first attempt so my form and range will improve.
Key Points:
- Keep your elbows at a 90 degree angle, and forearms pointing straight up.
- Keep looking straight ahead. Don’t turn your head to look at the weights.
- Do not allow your shoulders to shrug, or shoulder blades to elevate.
- Your head, torso, and hips should remain in a stacked position. Do not allow your lower back to excessively hyperextend (a slight arch is ok), round, or flex laterally, ribcage to flare, or torso, spine or hips to rotate.
- Keep your core braced (360 degree brace around your spine), and squeeze your glutes.
