A little shoulder superset using a 45lb plate (or lighter). The Ribbon exercise not only works on healthy shoulder mobility but also challenges your core.
This exercise can also be performed with kettle bells. I like to slow down the negatives (the lowering). The time under tension really blows up the upper body.
