Can someone tell me if this is good for rounded shoulders and forward head posture??

[jaries12]

Holy hell... is it a bad sign that these are hard to do with no weight or resistance? I mean, the fact that I feel it quite a lot in my back (lower trap/rhomboids) probably means it's working, right?

Would anyone like to give me some tips on working out for a skinny 17 year old? I'm 5'6'' and weigh 120. I'm using this routine, Westside for skinny bastards part III

[amounirl]

@ieatlilcarr0tz That's a really good beginner routine, basically just eat everything you can till you start to get chubby, then start cleaning up the diet and you'll lean out, and will have some decent size by then. Provided you're following Westside's program properly. Might want to also look into starting strength or stronglifts, they're simpler and also really good.

I feel a weird 'grinding' in my upper spine when doing this unless my back is a lot more upright and I look straight ahead. I'm assuming it's just due to an extremely weak upper back, am I wrong?

[fractaldimension]

Does this not hurt anybody's lower back? Seems like a great exercise but when I get to the overhead part it really hurts my lower back (which is already an injury spot). Is there a good alternative or maybe I should just leave that bit out?

[Vagranttoad]

@fractaldimension Try to lower the weight you are using and see if that helps. Also, you might want to start deadlifting regularly and do some ab stretches. Most lower back pain is from muscle imbalances. It may be an injury, but I am guessing your lower back just isn't strong enough to stabilize the weight you using in this exercise.

I did this exercise seated backward on a incline bench..I also did the movement a lot slower and held each position for 5 seconds...they helped my 13 year shoulder problem out more than any cortisol injections.. massages... accupucture treatements ever did!!!

[2112mike]

is this good for a warmup?

[Body4Beach]

@2112mike great warm up

[creatinemuscle]

those scarecrows are an excellent exercise for the rc.i do them on chest n on shoulder days before n after n it works 10 out of 10.

[cremaster0]

Dude thanks for this vid!!!! It is helping me tremendously!!!!!!!

[pyrotalk]

are u protracting or squeezing your blades at the start?

[smittydiesel]

retraction prior to the movement.

[TYKKETYKKE]

That scarecrow variant sure does look like the ideal exercise for me to do. I am in SERIOUS need of shoulder and trapezius/rhomboid functionality, so thanks for uploading this :)

[Stvafel]

I've found that I have a problem with my rotary cuffs (that's the english word for 'em, no?), atleast I think so. So I've started to try out some rehabilitating exercises. I just might include this one, tried it without any weights a few seconds ago and I do think that it can be helpful. My shoulders are crunching when performing this exercise, kinda scary... :P

[sidhyarth]

shoulders shouldnt hurt while doing these rather u should be retracting at the start of the movement before you flex ur elbow to perpendicular ...the crucnch should be felt between the scap not in the scap or GH part ...thanx

[crazychickenhead]

i've had a shoulder injury I got from weightlifting many years ago that still bothers me from time to time. I'll have to try this out.

[rockbodyfitness]

depending on your injury turkish getups can be great too.

[koziga]

This feels pretty good (and hard) to do even without any weights. Thanks for the video :)

[smittydiesel]

Excellent - thanks for the feedback and I'm glad it is helping!

[nanatzu]

thats really working out for me, i'm doing at home, separated from my workout. my shoulder isnt hurting anymore, but i'll continue doing because its great warm up too. thanks
