1. Start by standing upright with your feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Hold a PVC pipe vertically in one hand, keeping your grip relaxed.
3. Place your opposite hand on your elbow and gently press it in toward the midline of your body. This will help you feel a stretch in your triceps and the outer part of your shoulder.
4. Ensure that your torso stays upright and that your shoulder doesn’t round forward. Keep your chest up and open.
5. Hold the stretch for 15-30 seconds, breathing deeply into the stretch to help further relax your muscles.
6. Release carefully and switch sides, performing the stretch on your other arm.
7. Perform 1-4 sets depending on your flexibility needs or as part of your warm-up or cool-down routine.
This stretch is good for improving flexibility in the front rack position, which is essential for exercises like front squats and cleans. It can help to improve wrist and shoulder mobility and general upper body flexibility.
