Biceps Stretch Behind the Back
Hands clasped behind the back, arms straight and palms turned down, lift the hands away; the fronts of the arms stretch.
How to do it
Setup
Standing tall, hands clasped behind the back, arms straight.
Steps
- Turn the palms to face down.
- Lift the hands away from the back, chest up.
- Hold and breathe, then lower slowly.
Common mistakes
Bending forward to lift higher: stay upright; the arms rise only as far as they go. Bent elbows: straighten them, or the stretch leaves the biceps. Shrugging: shoulders down and back.
Breathing
Slow and even through the hold.
