What are the triceps stretch methods?

Everyone knows that fitness is an important way for us to maintain a good figure. At the same time, friends who exercise regularly also understand that stretching plays an important role after exercise. It can make our muscles more symmetrical. This is especially important for friends who exercise. Stretching after exercising the triceps also plays an important role. What are the triceps stretching methods? Let’s take a look at it together.

How to stretch your triceps yourself

1. The stretcher stands upright with the back and neck straight. It can also be done in a sitting position.

2. Flex the right shoulder and elbow joint and try to touch the right shoulder blade. Keep your upper arm as close to your ear as possible, with the back of your humerus pointing forward instead of turning out to the side. This will maximize the stretch on your triceps.

3. The stretcher can grab the right elbow with the left hand to provide resistance for the isometric contraction of the right triceps, keep the neck upright, continue the isometric contraction for 6 seconds, and breathe normally.

4. After isometric contraction, relax and take a deep breath. As you exhale, reach your hands farther down your back to further lengthen your triceps. Keep your back straight during the exercise for best results.

This stretch is intended to increase the angle of shoulder flexion when the elbow is flexed.

1. The stretcher lies prone with his head on the face guard or turned to one side. Flex your right shoulder and elbow until your hand can touch your shoulder blade, and bring your upper arm as close to your ear as possible. (The back of the humerus) is facing the ground, not turned outward. This position maximizes the lengthening of the triceps.

2. The partner holds the back of the person doing the stretching's elbow to provide a certain amount of resistance. Have the stretcher slowly work against their partner by pointing their elbows toward the ground and isometrically contracting their triceps for 6 seconds.

3. After isometric contraction, the stretcher relaxes and inhales. During this time, the upper arm remains in the starting position.

4. When exhaling, stretch the hands further back and down the back, keeping the upper arms close to the ears. This will increase the stretch on the triceps.

5. Repeat the above movements 2 to 3 times.

Through the above introduction, we know what are the methods of triceps stretching. This is also a must-do after normal exercise. Methods and techniques are also particularly important when stretching. We must strictly follow the above methods. In addition, we must also pay attention to muscle relaxation after muscle exercise.
