Conseils techniques
Keep your arms at a 90-degree angle with your elbows and shoulders in line with each other. Avoid extending your arms too high or too low as it can cause unnecessary strain and not engage the scapular muscles effectively.
Rather than rushing through the exercise, make sure to perform each slide slowly and with control. This not only ensures you’re using the correct muscles, but it also reduces the risk of injury.
A common mistake is to arch the back away from the wall during the exercise.
