How To Stretch Your Triceps

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:

  • Put your arm overhead
  • Grab your elbow
  • Keep your upper arm perpendicular to the floor
  • Pull your upper arm toward the back



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.
