To perform the Triceps Stretch Against Wall, stand facing a wall with your feet shoulder-width apart.

  1. Extend one arm overhead and bend the elbow, placing your hand on the wall.
  2. Gently push your elbow back towards the wall to feel a stretch in your triceps.
  3. Hold the stretch for 15-30 seconds, then switch arms.

How to perform the Triceps Stretch Against Wall

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Triceps Stretch Against Wall using your body weight.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your biceps.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your biceps rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
