Description

To perform this exercise, stand perpendicular to a wall. Bring your arm in front of you, at shoulder height, placing your elbow and arm against the wall, with the elbow at a 90-degree angle. Hold a weight in your hand. Your partner will then support the weight with their hand and then release it completely without warning. The goal is to keep the shoulder stable and prevent the weight from moving. You can also practice alone: briefly release the weight and catch it immediately. We recommend placing a small cushion or a mat under the weight to prevent any sudden falls, and be sure to protect your feet.
