Shoulder-Blade Squeeze
Muscles Worked: Rhomboids, Trapezius, Levator Scapulae Latissimus Dorsi, Erector Spinae, Abs
START: Hold a weight in each hand and stand with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart, toes pointing forward and palms facing in. Lengthen your spine by raising your ribcage, then lean forward to form a diagonal line from your hips to your shoulders, bending from your hip, not the waist. Allow your shoulder blades to separate and your shoulders to push slightly forward.
Technique Tip: Look down, not forward, to keep your neck from arching.
