Movement: Upper Body Posture when Lifting Weights

Written By Manifest Integrated Health

MOVEMENT.

When lifting weights for upper body, be sure to start with shoulder blades pulled back towards your spine.

Maintain this position during the entire movement/exercise.

This places your head and shoulder complex in a "home base" and neutral position, thus allowing for optimal posture, activation and protection for your body.

Everyday life application: squeeze your shoulder blades together 5 times, 5 times per day to check in with your posture and relieve stress in your neck, mid back and low back.
