TRICEPS

PVC Tricep Stretch

BeginnerBodyweight

This stretch uses a PVC pipe held behind the back to open up the triceps and shoulders more deeply than a standard stretch allows. It's a useful mobility drill for loosening the triceps and shoulders, whether warming up before pressing work or cooling down afterward.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Stand with feet slightly wider than your shoulders and knees softly bent.

  2. 2

    Hold a PVC pipe in front of you, gripping it near one end.

  3. 3

    Bring the pipe behind you, aligning it with your spine, with that thumb pointing down.

  4. 4

    Reach your other hand behind to grasp the low end of the pipe, palm facing away.

  5. 5

    Pull the pipe downward with the bottom hand to stretch the top arm's triceps.

  6. 6

    Hold the stretch, then switch hands and repeat on the other side.
