Starting position

How to perform it

Raise the arms in the required plane to a range you can control without shrugging. Lower slowly while keeping the neck relaxed. Use a steady tempo: control the return phase in particular and avoid relying on momentum. Exhale through the hardest part and inhale as you recover the starting position.

shoulders

Tips

Check that the movement stays stable in both directions and that the torso is not compensating. The goal is controlled loading of shoulders; match resistance and range to a advanced level and never force a painful repetition. For unilateral variations, complete the same number of repetitions and a comparable range on both sides.
