Shoulder Squeeze

BeginnerBodyweight

The Shoulder Squeeze targets the muscles between the shoulder blades, like the rhomboids and mid-traps, by drawing the elbows back and retracting the scapulae. It's a simple movement that helps counteract rounded posture and reinforce shoulder stability. You can do it anywhere, with or without added resistance.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Stand tall and bring your arms forward with elbows bent to about 90 degrees.

  2. 2

    Open your arms out wide while pulling your shoulder blades together.

  3. 3

    Squeeze at the end range and hold for two to three seconds.

  4. 4

    Return to the starting position under control.

  5. 5

    Keep the motion driven by your upper back rather than shrugging your shoulders up.
