Static Back Reverse Presses

How to Perform this E-cise™

Relax your legs, back and stomach.
Place your arms in a bent position directly out from your shoulders.

Bend 90 degrees at the elbows, hands are in a fist pointed up toward the ceiling.

Fun Facts

This exercise promotes shoulder girdle stability for thoracic extension. This Static Back position creates horizontal load between shoulder and pelvis, which contributes to thoracic extension by engaging the stabilizers and flexors of the hip. This position helps prevent compensation from occurring while performing other types of muscular work.
