Step 2 - Use the opposite hand to gently pull the extended arm closer to your body
Step 3 - Hold the stretch while keeping your shoulders relaxed
Step 4 - Switch arms and repeat on the other side
Recommended Sets & Time:
Beginner: 2 sets of 15-20 seconds each arm, 10 seconds rest
Intermediate: 2-3 sets of 20-25 seconds each arm, 10 seconds rest
Advanced: 3 sets of 25-30 seconds each arm, 10 seconds rest
What to Focus On:
Rear shoulder stretch - You should feel this in the back of your shoulder and upper back
Gentle pulling - Don't force the stretch, use light pressure to deepen it gradually
Shoulder alignment - Keep both shoulders level, don't let the stretching shoulder hike up
Arm positioning - Keep the stretching arm straight and at shoulder height
Modifications:
Easier: Use less pulling pressure or hold the stretch for shorter periods
Harder: Pull your arm slightly higher or lower to target different areas
