Prone Y's

BeginnerBodyweight

Prone Y's are done face down with the arms angled overhead into a Y shape. The lift targets the lower traps and rear shoulders, building scapular stability and better posture. It's a great low-load move for improving shoulder mobility and guarding against shoulder issues.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Lie face down on the floor or a mat.

  2. 2

    Open your arms out to roughly 45-degree angles from your shoulders to form a Y.

  3. 3

    Turn your palms toward the floor.

  4. 4

    Engage your back to raise your arms off the ground, keeping them straight.

  5. 5

    Hold briefly at the top, then lower your arms back to the floor.
