A combination of a strength/conditioning and a mobility exercise - offering an active flexibility tool much supperior to pure passive flexibility work.
I use this type of mobility work extensively, making sure that there is strength where there is flexibility.

Most people will forgo the notion that the lock out of the arms is easier to achieve with the head looking towards the floor unlocking the 'upper quarter'. Shown in the video is a harder variation- because the upper thoracic vertibrae are locked neutral in position, thereby challenging more ROM out of the shoulders, and lower-to mid-back regions. 5* Brother
