Chest And Front Of Shoulder Stretch

What it is

This movement gently stretches your pectoral muscles and the anterior deltoids, targeting the chest and front of your shoulders. You will use a light pole or stick to carefully extend these muscle groups. This static isolation stretch effectively improves upper body flexibility and mobility.

Technique tips

• Maintain a slight bend in your elbows.
• Keep your core engaged to stabilize your torso.
• Control the movement slowly and smoothly.
• Do not force the stretch beyond comfort.
• Breathe deeply throughout the stretch.
• Adjust your grip width for increased range of motion.

How to track your progress

Log the hold time of each set. Straddly keeps your best hold for this exercise and tells you when you beat it, so a two-second gain does not go unnoticed.
