UPPER BACK MOBILITY 🛠
Here are 3 simple & functional strategies to actively promote mobility in the upper back, neck, & shoulders 🚀
💥Thoracic Rotation + Reach💥
1️⃣ Neutral-Based
2️⃣ Flexion-Based
3️⃣ Extension-Based
PRO TIP: Actively “pin” an object between your upright knee & the wall as you reach + rotate to further target upper back mobility & reduce movement compensation from the hips & low back (Clorox Bottle for the win) 🥇
Tag a partner that can benefit from more mobility on the wall (or at their desk) 💯

FINGER CURLS ✊
Here are 2️⃣ simple strategies that can be used at home, in the gym, or at the crag to complement your finger-specific warm-up 🙌
Use a band + portable finger board to actively curl & control the full (tolerable) range of motion of the finger curl to warm-up the finger joints, pulleys, tendons, & forearms 🦖
Complement this strategy with higher-intensity pulls (perhaps using a sling instead of a band) as well as using a variety of grip positions to best optimize your warm-up ✅
Tag a climber that could benefit from more finger-specific warm-ups! 💯
