Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Standing Reverse Shoulder Stretch.
A standing stretch where the arms are brought behind the back with hands clasped to open the chest and stretch the front of the shoulders. It counteracts rounded-shoulder posture and is ideal as a postural correction or cooldown exercise.
The Standing Reverse Shoulder Stretch is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
