   1. Upper arms level with the shoulders.

   2. Elbows bent at 90 degrees.

   3. Start with our hands forward, then rotate them back by contract the posterior deltoids.

   4. Go as far up until the shoulders tighten.

3. Bent Over Reverse Fly. This will strengthen the upper trapezius and back of the neck.
   

   1. Lean forward 10 degrees.

   2. Start with your hands in front.
