How to: PVC Pass Through
- Stand tall with feet shoulder-width apart and hold the PVC pipe with both hands, palms facing down.
- Raise the PVC pipe overhead, keeping your arms straight.
- Slowly lower the PVC pipe behind your head, ensuring you feel a stretch in your shoulders.
- Bring the PVC pipe back to the starting position over your head.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Allowing the back to arch excessively during the movement.
- Not engaging the core, which can lead to poor form.
- Moving too quickly and sacrificing control.
Modifications
- Use a resistance band instead of a PVC pipe for easier handling.
- Perform the exercise seated if standing causes discomfort.
Tips
- Keep your core engaged and back straight during the movement.
- Move slowly and with control to avoid straining your shoulders.
- Ensure the arms are fully extended during the pass-through for maximum stretch.
