Push head through. Consciously shrug at the top to activate the upper traps. Bicep, forearm, SA, chest and lateral trap activation at the bottom. Flex the mid back to transfer force into the back and lats. My best form has always been with a frontal displacement between upper and lower body, using a strong mid back and traps to keep them together. Those are the exact muscles my past office job made to suffer.

Everything starts coming together. Track knees a bit more forward and fold properly at the hip while relaxing the deep external hip rotators, and focus on putting the MID BACK back online.

A pain-free session with tons of learned form cues! Note to self: vibing along with liquid moves to old house tracks is a GREAT motor control and mobility wrap-up to the day.
