Shoulder prep
3 simple movements to get your shoulders fired up and your upper back mobile
Do you want to prepare your shoulders for your next CrossFit WOD or Oly session? Our CrossFit physio Rick has you covered. Do these 3 simple movements before your WOD. Let’s get into it.
Exercise #1: T-spine opener
Lie down onto your side with knees bent and arms in front of you. Open your upper back by rotating your arm overhead making sure to keep your rotating hand in contact with the floor.
Exercise #2: Prone overhead presses
Grab a light elastic band and lie down onto your stomach. Bring the band behind your neck, apply tension by pulling the band apart and press the band overhead.
Exercise #3: Cuban presses
Holding onto two light plates do all these things (probably better to just watch the video 😉 )
- Bend forward
- Retract shoulder blades
- Bend elbows and bring arms to 90 degrees
- Externally rotate arms
- Press overhead
