Rhomboids
- Posterior deltoid
- Infraspinatus
- Supraspinatus
Start position
- Lying face down on a ball, bench or bed
- Head and shoulders should be over the edge of the bench or bed
- Arms are resting
Finish position
- Squeeze shoulders blades together. Think either, chest out and up or shoulders down and back. The arms are still hanging straight down.
- Bending at the elbows bring the elbows up and out to the side. The arm is now 90 degrees to your torso and is also horizontal to the ground
- At this point, turn the arm so the hands rise up to the point where the forearm is parallel to the ground.
- One you reach the top position reverse the order back to the starting position.
