What It Is
A small, straight-arm move that trains your shoulder blades to slide and stay steady. It sets up healthier push-ups and overhead reaching.
How to Do It
Get into a high plank with your hands under your shoulders and arms straight. Let your chest sink between your shoulders so your shoulder blades squeeze together. Push the floor away to spread them apart and round your upper back slightly. Keep your arms straight throughout.
