My trainer, calls this exercise “the scarecrow”, and we usually practice it with my back against a wall. You can also add some light weight for resistance. We then rotate the forearms from an upright to a down position, without changing the posture. It’s a difficult exercise, but worthwhile.

We do a similar tai chi exercise called Rowing the Boat
