Got it? Now send this post to every affiliate you know and help them see what good positioning looks like.
You have to relax the shoulder girdle first and then bring the elbows forward (externally rotate the shoulders). But you have to relax first and make sure you are not shrugging up at all.

would be easier to see if this was done with a loaded barbell, particularly by a tall guy like 6'4 maybe?!
i did this today and it seemed to help with 67.5kgs on bar, but due to my height and long gangly arms was unsure if i was doing it right.

For me it seems its more than just an issue of rolling my shoulders back.
