| About three weeks ago, I shared a series of blog posts featuring video instructions for three powerful posture exercises: |
|
| ✅ T-Spine Self Active Release |
| ✅ T-Spine Release with Shoulder Range of Motion |
| ✅ The Shoulder Box |
|
| If you haven’t tried them yet, now’s the perfect time to start! |
|
| In today’s blog, I’ll show you how to use The Shoulder Box to properly “set” your shoulders before tackling more challenging strength exercises—like the Bent-Over Single Arm Row. |
|
| By performing the Shoulder Box first, you activate the key upper back muscles essential for rowing movements. This ensures you’re engaging the right muscles, improving your posture, and reducing the risk of injury. |
|
| Why This Matters: |
| ❌ Performing a Single Arm Row with poor form can reinforce bad posture and increase injury risk. |
| ✅ Learning to properly “set” your shoulders in the row translates to better mechanics in all pulling exercises, leading to a stronger, more defined upper body. |
|
| Bonus Tip for Better Posture & Shoulder Health: |
| For an even greater postural boost, use the T-Spine Release or T-Spine + Shoulder ROM Release as part of your warm-up or between sets of upper-back exercises. |
