Equipment
Arm Springs
Arm springs are hand loops on the Cadillac that load pressing, pulling, and reaching patterns for the shoulders and upper back. They are useful for scapular control and postural endurance with spring feedback. Arm-spring work on this site ranges from open-chain presses to coordinated leg and arm patterns. Lighter springs suit motor learning; firmer springs increase strength demand. Keep ribs settled and avoid shrugging when fatigue appears in the upper trapezius.
