Overhead Triceps Stretch

Triceps & shoulder release

Neck and shoulders

How to

Raise one arm overhead and bend the elbow so your hand drops behind your head. Use the other hand to gently guide the bent elbow further back and down.

Benefits

  • Stretches the triceps and the back of the shoulder together
  • Useful after upper-body strength training
  • Improves overhead reach over time

Practice

Hold 20-30 seconds per side. Stop guiding the elbow the moment you feel a pull rather than a stretch.
