Description:

Whether you are seated at your computer desk or preparing yourself for your workout, an Overhead Tricep Stretch is a basic stretch that can be performed anywhere and any time.  Avoid pulling in a quick and jerky fashion as this may cause straining.  The pulling action should be slow and gradual.  Bend sideways at the waist for an added stretch in the lats.

Process:

• begin in a stand
• bend one arm overhead and grab the elbow with the other hand
• slowly pull the bent arm towards the head
• add a little side bend in the waist away from the bent elbow for extra stretch
• switch sides
