HS/PE1>im Form Check. Am I even doing this exercise correctly?...

Hey everyone,

Not sure I'm even doing this mobility exercise correctly.  Below are a side view video and a dorsal view video.

 

I would greatly appreciate any feedback you can give me.

 

Thanks,

Craig

Looks pretty clean ! Maybe around the end you lost just a little bit of flexion, but to me looks good, scapula both elevated and protracted. I'm not able to see your rib cage because you're wearing a shirt.

Thank you very much chuchodani.  

 

(The internet does not need video of me without a shirt on  ;  I was very focused on keeping my ribs down)

Nice work. No need to take your shirt off, your back is clearly flat.

 

At my age I have more hair on my shoulders than my head, so I feel you on the keep the shirt on sentiment.

 

As far as your user name goes, it's clearly in error, as last I heard that's me.

Thank you Coach Dano.  Thanks again chuchodani.

Be extremely sure that the weight is equally divided between the 2 arms. if you stop on the dorsal view you can check that the distance from left hand-plate and right hand-plate it is not the same. i had this bad habit in the past. it is a starting point to develop imbalances over the traps.

This may be simply a flexibility issue that will be fixed over time, but the prime goal (if I'm not mistaken ) is to get that top half of the dislocate and really engage flexion. So as you lean forward, actively use that lean to push your shoulders back while elevating a bit.

^Not correct about the dislocate. There should be no "dislocating" in this exercise, only pure shoulder flexion.
