How to Increase Shoulder Blade Mobility

Speaker: The YTWL is named as because of the shape that you're arms that are going to form with your body. Lying down on a bench, the Y, you're going to bring your arms up out about a 45-degree angle with your body forming Y, if you're looking yourself from the top. Always keep your thumbs point towards the ceiling. The T you're really straight out to the side; with of all of these, you want to keep the tension, out of your traps, trying to work on generating the movement you're your shoulder blades. For the W, you bend your arms to a 90-degree angle, and just do the same movement as with the T.

Again, notice that the thumbs are pointed towards the ceiling; keeping the tension out of the traps and between the shoulder blades. For the L, you raise your arms up so that your upper arm is parallel with the ground and so a simple external rotation.
