Execution:
1
Lie face down on an incline bench, a dumbbell in each hand with arms extended.
2
Keep your neck neutral and core braced.
3
Without bending the elbows, move only the shoulder blades — pull the shoulders back and down.
4
Return slowly, allowing the shoulders to come forward without losing posture.
Tip: this is a scapular isolation drill — focus on retraction, not on lifting the weight.
