How to perform it
- Lay down with your back on the floor. Place a foam roll underneath your upper back, and cross your arms in front of you, protracting your shoulders. This will be your starting position.
- Raise your hips off of the ground, placing your weight onto the foam roll. Shift your weight to one side at a time, rolling over your middle and upper back. Pause at points of tension for 10-30 seconds.
Muscles worked
The Rhomboids-SMR primarily targets your Middle Back, with support from your Traps. You'll need foam roll.
