CORE: "T-Stabilization Lockout
+ Hyperextension"

Directions: Perform Dynamic Warm-Up exercises at “beginning” of workout
for maximum benefit and improvement.
Pick a safe level; never be unsafe or exceed your capacity to “control” your body!

1. Start in Military push up position as with regular T-Stab Lockout.

2. As you extend arm into the lockout position simply pull the arm and shoulder back more for the "hyper" extension.

3. Do NOT let hips drop during the exercise.

4. Review Regular T-Stabilization Lockout Directions

Tips: All the T-Stab exercises are good shoulder stability movements, but the Hyper version above gives you a little extra for shoulder mobility.  The front part of each shoulder "opens" as you extend the top arm back.

• The Hyper version can be way too much for a lot of people because their shoulders are just too tight.  Work your way up to this one--if you can.  Never "force" a hyperextension!  These must be approached gently and slowly.  Speed and increased ROM can come later when appropriate.

*Note: This exercise is intended for "normal healthy" individuals.  If you have an injury, or abnormal pain is present,
see your physician or a certified physical therapist before continuing your exercises.
