Tricep Stretch - Standing

Stand with good posture and your feet hip-width apart. Raise the arm of the tricep you want to stretch up above your head and bend at the elbow so that your hand is behind your head between your shoulder blades. Now place the fingers of the other hand on the back of your arm.

Slowly and gently push the arm back behind you until you feel a stretch of 7/10 in the back of your arm and hold it for at least 30 seconds. Now repeat for your other arm.


Do's Don'ts
  • Do keep your tummy tight
  • Do move in a slow controlled manner
  • Do keep your head in line with your spine
  • Do only use your fingers to push back
  • Do breathe slowly and deeply
  • Don't hold your breath
  • Don't push the stretch too far
  • Don't arch your back
  • Don't push on the elbow just above
  • Don't use your whole hand to push with
  • Don't bounce to increase the stretch
