Sit up against a flat wall do your back in TOTAL contact with the surface. Make sure you butt is in contact with the corner where teh wall meets the floor and legs are straight forward on the floor. Next, raise your arms like a cop is telling you to "put your hands up!" Make sure the back of the arms, middle of back, and low back , back of head, and wrists are in TOTAL CONTACT with wall.

If you do these correctly, it should be very difficult for you to have control and isometric strength. Progress to moving your arms up the wall, while still touching the wall surface.
