Side Wrist Pull Stretch
The arm straight ahead with the hand in a fist, the other hand draws the fist down and to the side; the back of the forearm lengthens.
How to do it
Setup
Standing, one arm straight ahead at shoulder height, palm down, the hand in a loose fist.
Steps
- Wrap the other hand over the fist.
- Draw the fist down and to the side until the top of the forearm stretches.
- Hold and breathe, then switch arms.
Common mistakes
Bending the elbow as you pull: keep the arm straight or the stretch fades. Squeezing the fist hard: keep it loose and let the other hand work. Yanking the wrist: draw it slowly and stop at the first clear stretch.
Breathing
Slow and even through the hold.
