The wall front deltoid stretch is a simple stretch for your front deltoids, used in all pressing motions like the bench press. Performing this exercise prior to your workout will help to reduce the possibility of injury.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Stand straight up, face away from the wall, and bend your trunk slightly forward.

  2. Step 2

    Place your hands as high as you can on the wall, your fingers pointing towards the ceiling.

  3. Step 3

    Bring your buttocks and back toward the wall, squatting down until you feel a gentle stretch in the front of your shoulders (your anterior deltoids).

  4. Step 4

    Maintain this position for a few breaths (20 to 30 seconds).

  5. Step 5

    Remove your hands from the wall, and stand straight up to resume your original position.
