Hello!
When I have my hands facing backwards in crab and reverse plank, I have significant elbow pain on both sides. My elbows do hyper extended. I am trying to keep a slight bend in them which reduces the pain, however then my shoulders get out of wack. I think ultimately this is a shoulder flexibility deficit?
What can I work on for this?
Lindsay
Hi Lindsay, try to turn the hands to the side, if pain persist you should consider to avoid this exercise. aside that how is you range of motion of shoulders extension?
I turned my hands to the side and it does help. It is also better if I just hold crab rather than try to move. Reverse plank just does not feel good.
Attached is a pic my 5 year old just took working on my shoulders with a dowel. I would love to know more exercises to work on here because this is a weakness and so hard for me.
Foe this particular case the handstand one course covers this type of shoulders mobility. ideally stretch course for bridge development and handstand 1.
Great thanks for the recommendation!
