Improve shoulder function: stretch the elastic band diagonally "Collect", "YTWL", "Glide", elastic shoulder wrap and more!
Elastic bands are the most portable fitness training tool, especially in some small movements (joint warm-up). Elastic bands are simple and convenient, can provide tension from all angles, and are very popular
Today I would like to introduce to you another action to activate the shoulders: the diagonal pull-up with elastic bands
For shoulder control, it is a simple but very effective action.
This action is also performed using elastic bands and performs a series of actions that emphasize scapula retraction.
The following is the action process and demonstration:
1. With the band fixed at chest height, hold the band with both hands, arms straight at shoulder height, with one hand thumb up and the other thumb down!
2. Then, activate your shoulders, pull one hand up and the other hand down, creating a diagonal pattern.
2. Return to the original position, and then switch to the diagonal line on the other side.
This is an excellent posterior chain exercise for developing functional scapular pattern strength and endurance.
For the front-dominant posture caused by sitting for a long time, this action can push the posture toward the rear-dominant posture. This action effectively combines multiple actions, including scapula retraction, upward rotation, and scapula retroversion. .
But the real advantage of this action is the interactive nature (seeing, running, jumping, throwing) and other activities. It is an action involving "extending arms to each other"
You can use it as a warm-up action before exercise!
