How to Perform

  1. 1

    Stand facing a wall, about arm's length away.

  2. 2

    Place your forearms flat against the wall with elbows at shoulder height, forming a goalpost position (elbows bent 90 degrees).

  3. 3

    Press your forearms firmly into the wall and protract your shoulder blades (push them apart and forward around your ribcage). You should feel your serratus anterior engage.

  4. 4

    While maintaining pressure into the wall, slowly slide your forearms upward, extending your arms overhead.

  5. 5

    Keep protraction throughout — do not let your shoulder blades pinch together.

  6. 6

    Slowly slide back down to the starting position, maintaining wall contact and protraction.

  7. 7

    Repeat for 10-15 repetitions.
