Is it to make the stretch harder? If so then is it acceptable in the beginning to just keep the torso upright and after I achieve full sholder flexion in that postion start working on increasing the lean?

Coach Sommer

The purpose is to place the traps under load.  By remaining upright you are reducing the load.

 

Bottom line; lean forward!
