Common mistakes
You hike the shoulders to the ears as the elbows lift, erasing the stretch.
You round forward and collapse the chest into the wrap.
You strain to force the full palm bind when the backs of the hands are your honest position today.
What to focus on
The stretch dial is elbows lifting while the shoulder blades slide down — work those two directions against each other.
Gently draw the forearms away from your face to widen the space between the shoulder blades.
Note which cross feels tighter and give that side a few extra breaths next round.
