Help clean up that overhead position.
If your overhead position looks like you're about to hit the club and twerk, this might help you out. Now, if your issues stem from poor shoulder/thoracic spine mobility, then ya gotta clear that up first. THEN you can hit this drill. But for those of you with the prerequisite mobility, but a tendency to steal stability by arching your back an flaring your ribs, give this a try.
Shown to me by @garagegymgirl, this drill uses the minor resistance of the band to provide assistance to the pattern. The goal is simple, get into that overhead position, arms in line with the ears, while keeping the ribs down and the core engaged. Oh, and don't forget to breathe.

I'm not looking to turn you into Arnold with this drill, simply help you pattern that movement without a huge external load over your head that's gonna force you to compensate and mess it up. Give it a shot and let me know what you think.
Like it? Repost it. Don't understand it? Hit me up and get #Maestrofied.
