Objectives
  • Train the upper body to stay long and upright at its fullest height, maintaining a naturally lifted sternum that supports an open, well-aligned posture without strain.

  • Build strength through the latissimus dorsi and teres major to create powerful, well-organized pulling capacity and greater control through the back of the shoulder.

  • Builds the ability to keep the shoulders and trunk steady while the arms move independently, reinforcing clear scapular depression and stable positioning so the shoulder girdle stays organized rather than lifting or shifting with the motion.

  • Focus on breathing to synchronize the movement.
