Gravity Assisted Flexion Control with Weights
Video Transcription
0:00 Lying on your back, with the shoulders set and the arm straight up above you holding the weight. Slowly, lower the arm down towards the side. The further down you lower the arm, the heavier the exercise will be on the muscles. Ensure you do not lower the arm further than you can control the shoulder blade. Keep the back relaxed and breathe slowly all the way through the exercise.
0:34 Sitting reclined on a bed, set the shoulder blades and raise the arm above the head holding onto the weight. Slowly, lower the arm down to the side, keeping the shoulder blade under control. The further down you lower the arm, the heaver the exercise will be on the muscles of the shoulder. Ensure you do not lower the arm too far or you will lose the control of the shoulder blade. Keep the back relaxed at all times.
