Triceps Stretch Against Wall
The bent arm's elbow rests high on a wall and the body leans in until the back of the upper arm and the side of the back stretch.
How to do it
Setup
Facing a wall, one arm bent overhead, hand on its own shoulder, the elbow on the wall.
Steps
- Stagger the feet and brace the middle.
- Lean the armpit toward the wall until the arm stretches.
- Hold and breathe, then switch arms.
Common mistakes
Arching the lower back to get closer: move from the shoulder, ribs down. Elbow sliding out to the side: keep it in line with the shoulder. Leaning in until the shoulder pinches: back off to a stretch.
Breathing
Slow and even through the hold.
