Hanging plank shoulder circles (Horizontal row shoulder circles)
Skill Tree
Technique
- Hang under rings or a low bar in a Horizontal row start position: arms straight, heels on the ground, body in a straight line from shoulders to feet.
- Keeping the arms straight, slowly move your shoulders backward ( Shoulder retraction ), downward ( Shoulder depression ), forward ( Shoulder protraction ) and upward ( Shoulder elevation ) in a circular motion.
- Repeat, then change direction.
Form tips
- Resist bending the elbows: this exercise teaches you to dissociate scapular movement from elbow movement.
- Go slowly and reach the full range of motion in each direction.
