This is one of those funky looking exercises that works your back and rear shoulder muscles more than you think it would. A lot of it is to do with the smaller back and shoulder muscles never fully getting to rest so there is a lot of tension working through them. The bodyweight version is pretty easy to master so from here hold light dumbbells or weight plates in each hand. Key points:
• Lay face down on a low incline box or step with legs straight and abs and butt muscles braced tightly • Start with lifting the hands to the side of body in line with low chest / sternum with elbows pointing up towards the ceiling as much as possible • Hands should not touch the floor during the exercise • Breathe out and extend the arms directly out to the side of the body • Continue until the arms are fully extended and body is in a "T" shape. • Breathe in and pull the hands back to the start position whilst squeezing the elbows back in
