Scapular Shrugs with Antranik
Scapular shrugs are an excellent mobility drill for loosening up the musculature around the upper back by isolating the movement of the shoulder blades.

Scapular shrugs on all fours 2. Scapular shrugs from plank 3. Scapular shrugs with a band And if you can't get on the ground for whatever reason, put your hands against the wall and do them against a wall. It's very low intensity, but it still works to loosen the area up. Note: These go by many different names: rhomboid push ups in physical therapy (which I believe is incorrect), scapular push ups by ido portal and scapular shrugs in gymnastics. The gymnastics "scapular shrugs" name stuck with me, so that's what I'm calling them.
