Form cues

  • Forearm on the doorframe, elbow at shoulder height
  • Step through gently until the chest opens
  • Ribs down; don't arch the back

Common errors

  • ✗ Shrugging the shoulder
  • ✗ Over-arching to fake range

How Kalyra programs it

Prepares and mobilizes the chest and shoulders region — used in warm-ups and mobility blocks where range, not load, is the goal.

Typically 1–3 sets of 40s per side, with the hold length scaled to the session.
