TUE WK7/12 - DE-LOAD WEEK - SECRET STRENGTH- BACK RAISE & SHOULDER OPENER - Strength & Body Freedom

De-load Back Strength & Stretch

De-load week is an essential part of our strength programmes. It allows you a week of rest whilst still being able to work on key areas. Take this week and come back in week 8 re-freshed and ready to lift more effectively. Find a raised surface like a cushion. We want a slight rounding of the back to enable the shoulder blade to slide across your back naturally. Ensure your palms are turned outward , creating external rotation of the shoulder joint. From here keep the arms straight then lift and squeeze the shoulders at the top. Thumbs on the inside and pinkies on the outside. This is building strength across your back in a very supported position as well as creating shoulder mobility.
