How To Do Pull-Aparts For A Healthy Back And Shoulders
This exercise I am going to show you is a great one to train your scapula (shoulder blade) to retract and rotate downward, which can help with correcting or preventing rotator cuff issues or shoulder impingement.
Pull-aparts can easily be added into your warmup to activate your upper back or you can superset it with another exercise during your workout.
Watch the video below to see how to perform pull-aparts…
Technique Tip – Make sure you keep your shoulders pulled back and down during the exercise you keep your scapula stable.
You can do straight pull-aparts, overhead pull aparts or do them diagonally like in the video.
Hope this exercise series helps you build a strong stable upper back and shoulders!
If you haven’t checked out Joe DeFranco & James Smith’s DVD called AMPED yet I highly suggest you do. This is among many of the great warm up and mobility drills that are shown in the dvd.
