Upper Back 2, Oppositional Tips

  1. Start with a light weight to ensure proper form and avoid strain on your upper back muscles.
  2. Keep your shoulder blades pulled back and down throughout the exercise to engage your upper back effectively.
  3. Focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together at the end of each repetition to maximize engagement.
  4. Avoid using momentum or swinging your body to lift the weight, as this takes away from targeting your upper back.
  5. Take a moment to pause and hold at the top of each repetition, feeling the contraction in your upper back muscles.

  7. Remember to breathe steadily and exhale as you lift the weight, inhaling as you lower it down.
