Improve your thoracic mobility with this Seated Thoracic Rotation drill! This movement helps loosen up your mid-back, enhances posture, supports better movement mechanics and will make your overhead press kick butt!

🛠 How to Do It:

✔️ Sit on a box or bench with a PVC pipe (or broomstick) on your back, mimicking a high-bar squat position.

✔️ Squeeze a foam roller between your knees to stabilize your lower body.

✔️ Rotate as far as you can to one side. Take a deep breath and hold that stretch for about three seconds, then rotate a little further take a deep breath hold for another three seconds, then rotate further again. Then return to center and repeat on the other side.

✔️ Focus on controlled movement without compensating through the hips.

🎯 Why It Works:

✅ Improves spinal rotation

✅ Reduces upper back stiffness

✅ Supports posture & performance
