How to perform it
Step-by-step instructions
- 01Sit tall with your legs supported comfortably and hold a dowel in front of you with a wide overhand grip.
- 02Brace your trunk and keep your elbows straight so the movement comes from your shoulders.
- 03Lift the dowel overhead and guide it behind your body through your available pain-free range.
- 04Bring the dowel forward again along the same path without leaning backward or shrugging.
- 05Use a grip wide enough for a smooth motion and stop if either shoulder pinches.
