Overview

In this lesson, we present shoulder adduction hovers, dynamic holds that challenge you to lift and control your arm as it moves toward and across your midline.

Objective

Gain understanding of how hovering techniques build active control and strength in shoulder adduction end range.

What You'll Get: You'll learn to hold your arm in adduction and hover it off a surface, forcing your muscles to fire without support. Hovers develop the kind of control that makes binds more accessible and pulling movements more stable. This is practical work for anyone who wants to improve their ability to cross their arms or draw them toward their body with strength.
