On day 8 we are moving our focus to an opposing skill from day 07, called shoulder extension, or reaching back, combined with spinal flexion. This is an area that commonly causes neck and shoulder discomfort. Some of the isometrics will be isolated, focusing on one joint motion at a time. Others will incorporate the hips and spinal regions together, as they do in daily life. Even though certain types of isometrics can be very intense, we will be performing isometrics for the purpose of muscle activation, so the resistance used should not include shaking or cramping.
This routine includes:
Seated shoulder depression.
Shoulder abduction / downward rotation with a strap
Shoulder extension with the strap
Bodyweight forward bending with rear shoulder reach
Isometric scapular retraction / forward bend combo
Quadruped with isometric trunk flexion
Plank
Supine Shoulder extension with reverse crunch
Bridge
Crunch
