    How to: Forearm Wall Slide

    1. Stand with your back against a wall, feet about a foot away.
    2. Place your forearms against the wall, elbows slightly below shoulder height.
    3. Slide your forearms upward along the wall while keeping your elbows and wrists pressed against it.
    4. Hold at the top for a moment, then slowly slide back down to the start position.
    5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

    Common Mistakes

    • Not maintaining contact between the forearms and wall.
    • Arching the back excessively during the movement.
    • Rushing through the exercise without controlled movements.

    Modifications

    • Perform the exercise with a reduced range of motion if experiencing discomfort.
    • Use a wall with a softer surface for added comfort.

    Tips

    • Maintain a neutral spine posture throughout the exercise.
    • Keep your elbows and wrists pressed firmly against the wall.
    • Engage your core to minimize shoulder and back strain.
