Key Positioning Points:

1) Kneeling Comfortably with weight distributed evenly.
2) Pelvis tucked under and rotated into neutral position.
3) Serratus engaged, Shoulders retracted.

Start Position:

Arms extended shoulders down. Hands should be in a pronated position (thumbs down). Shoulders should be in extension, but the Shoulder girdle should still be retracted.
Hands should be relaxed and loosely hooking the grips with the fingers.

If starting with right arm on top, complete the second set with the left arm on top.

End Position:

Elbows are in full flexion, hands have rotated in full supination, both little fingers on each hand should be in contact with the rib cage. Shoulder blades are pinched together for maximum
retraction.
