great movement. esp for those who suffer from anterior scapular tilt. the only thing i'd recommend is to step away from the wall a foot or two and drive the lumbar into the wall. i get better results when the majority of the spine from the sacrum to the top of the thoracic spine is in contact with the wall. i feel you get better rhomboid contraction. while you're resting between sets, try to get a good pec minor stretch in to combat the tightness that's actually pulling the shoulders forward.
A home remedy that works. Buy a tennis ball for 90 cents. Cut it in half using a knife. Then insert each half sphere (cone up) in the heel area of your shoe. You will gain as much shock absorption than your entire body weight 4 times over. I had chronic back pain for years but after using the half tennis ball technique I have no more back pain and I dont have to waste my money on shonky chiropractors and unqualified swindlers !!!!!
@dtothelu "Lumbar against the wall"? My condolences to you for having your butt amputated, but for those of us still in possession of our glutes, what your are saying is a physical impossibility.
@hammeroffail Thanks for your concern, my dear chap. It's not easy living afflicted with the condition medically known as "flat buns", sitting becomes quite a chore.
I agree, she's arching her back way too much. The exercise is much tougher and you get much more out of it if you try to maintain contact with the wall. For a better example, search for "exercises for developing better posture". It's the top vid with a guy that looks like a coach and his football player.
my left shoulders all restricted...if i try to do this its hard for my left arm to touch the wall..like my shoulders all stuck or something..there something weird goen on
not necessarily- If her T-spine is in contact with the wall, she derives pretty much all the benefits of the exercise. She has well developed glutes- its not a super pronounced lumbar curvature- if you're going by L-spine clearance from the wall. as long as she has scapular retraction and upward rotation, she'll benefit.

@hammeroffail no it's not. step the feet out from the wall about a foot or two.

This is wrong. She still has a arched lumbar area. Both the scapular AND lumbar area MUST be touching the wall.

@phileustace
that doesn't make sense, couse it would put spine in an unatural position... there must be a lumbar curve while standing.. does it not?

noones lumbar area can touch the wall....everyone has a natural slight arch in the lumbar spine genius

This is wrong. The lumbar area should also be DIRECTLY touching the wall as well.

She goes into too much lumbar extension you're right. Great corrective exercise when done correctly though.
