Isometric Shoulder Flexion

Exercise Overview

This is an effort based isometric contraction exercise that uses a wall. Stand while facing a wall with your elbows straight. Keep the elbow aligned directly below your shoulder. With your palms facing the wall, press forwards into the wall by slowly ramping up your strength over the course of 3 seconds. Hold your maximal tolerable contraction for 5-7 seconds before ramping your strength back down to a rest (again over a 3 second count).
