Last week, we addressed wrist flexibility for a better Front Squat experience.

Stretching the wrists is not always enough. Too much benching, can lead to a tight triceps. This can make it hard to use a clean grip.

There aren’t many ways to stretch the Triceps. This video show the Overhead Triceps Stretch.

Here’s how to perform them:

Don’t pull your upper arm toward you head. This will stretch your lats, not your triceps. Go for quality, not quantity.

Perform 3 sets of 10 seconds after your workout, several times a week. Flexibility in your triceps will quickly improve.

Do these & the wrist stretches and the clean grip will be peace of cake.

When I do the triceps stretch I tend to feel it more in my shoulder than in my triceps. Is this because of bad form, or just bad flexibility in my shoulder?

Remember what Fonzie was like? Cool. That's how we're gonna be -- cool. If you're not, I'll delete your stuff.
