When the biceps become tight over time, they start to have an effect on how your shoulders and elbows feel. Many people don't even realize how tight they are until they try this stretch.
This has become a favorite of mine. I do it every day, even if I'm not training that day. Here's how to do it:
If you struggle to do this, do 3-5 shorter sets and it'll become easier. If you don't notice much of a stretch, then 30 seconds each arm is great.
It's very easy to overdo things like push-ups and bench press because, well, they're fun. But things like opening and stretching the pecs, biceps, and wrists are often overlooked. The best injury is the one you don't get. The stretch will help.
