| Description: |
- Set-up similar to pec major but with arm slightly higher and straighter.
- Once in position retract the scapulae while engaging core to prevent the rips from rising upwards.
- Rotate away and lean forward/downwards until you feel stretch in the pec minor area.
- Usually the pec major must be fully lengthened to access the pec minor and as such will make up a large portion of the initial stretch until its full length has been achieved.
- Stop immediately if pain in the shoulder joint and/or tingling or numbness down the arm or into the hand.
