GHjt flexion wall slides - lift-off ("Wall slides, forearms" Scapular stabilization, with lift-off)

Stand up straight facing a wall.
Place your elbows and forearms on the wall, shoulder width apart.
Your forearms should be vertical with your hands pointing up to the ceiling.
Ensure you keep a straight line from your head to your heels.
Gently press your forearms into the wall, flattening your shoulder blades against your ribs.
Do not hunch your shoulders up, or round your upper back.
Keeping this control with your shoulder blades, slide your forearms up the wall.
The key to this exercise is to ensure your shoulder blades remain tight against your rib cage.
At the top point, lift your arms away from the wall.
Keep the control around your shoulder blades as you do this.
Return your forearms to the wall and slide them back down to the starting position before repeating.
