Top Static Stretches - Triceps & Latissimus Dorsi
Both the Latissimus Dorsi (Lats) and the Triceps muscles attach to the upper arm.
Perform this Lat and Tricep Stretch by standing upright with your hand behind your neck and your elbow pointing upwards. Then use your other hand to gently pull your elbow up.
- This will stretch your triceps brachii, latissimus dorsi, teres major and minor.
