Over-Under Shoulder Stretch strengthens the various upper body muscles in the arms (biceps and triceps), chest muscles, shoulders muscles, and back muscles.
BEGINNER
One-Arm Doorway Stretch
One-Arm Doorway Stretch targets the front portion of the shoulder or the anterior deltoid and stretches the rotator cuff muscles and the muscles of the chest.
Instructions
- Place your forearm against a door frame, wall, or squat rack. Make sure your elbow is at a 90-degree angle, and your triceps are parallel to the floor. The legs will be staggered.
- Using the resistance structure, try to twist your torso in the opposite direction until you feel a stretch in your chest and shoulder. Hold this stretch for as long as you want and return to the starting position.
Tips
- Don't put your hand too high on the wall. Keep your shoulder parallel to the floor.
- Don't overdo your lower back while stretching. Keep your stomach tight.
- Do not continue stretching if you feel tingling.
