@cali.hoss: Prone YTW for Strong, Healthy Shoulders 1. Lie face down on a mat; place a folded towel under your forehead to keep your neck neutral. 2. Extend arms overhead into a Y shape, roughly 100 degrees apart. 3. Externally rotate your shoulders so thumbs point up, and keep shoulders away from your ears. 4. Brace your core, raise your arms, and hold 10-30 seconds for a couple of sets. You should feel tension in the lower portion of your upper back. Common Mistakes to Avoid 1. Arching your lower back; keep ribs glued to the floor and brace your core. 2. Shrugging your shoulders, which overworks the upper traps instead of the lower traps. 3. Fully depressing your scapulae before lifting, which limits shoulder flexion and forces compensation. The Full Sequence 1. Y position: arms overhead, thumbs up, lift and hold. 2. T position: arms out to the sides, lift while squeezing shoulder blades together. 3. W position: bend elbows and pull them down, then lift. Make It Harder 1. Once you can hold 30 seconds with good form, add small dumbbells. 2. Add dynamic movements: from W, extend arms out, hold, and return. 3. Do snow angels: start with arms at your sides and thumbs pointing out, then lift and rotate through T, then Y, and reverse the movement. #ShoulderWorkout, #YTWExercise, #PostureFix, #LowerTraps, #ShoulderMobility
