Elbow Bridge Rock
The elbow bridge rock opens up your chest, your abs, and your lats even deeper through a repetitive full range of motion. The point is ultimately to isolate the upper thoracic spine and develop spinal mobility toward a full bridge. This version builds on the elbow bridge and works into a deeper thoracic stretch.

- Straighten your legs completely and squeeze your glutes to lift your hips higher.
- The top of your head will be in contact with the floor but you should be fully supported through your forearms and feet.
