a. Sideways Triceps Stretch.

Starting position —Strands behind neck, arms bent, upper arms parallel with the floor.

Movement —Straighten the arms, keeping the upper arms in the same place throughout the pull.

b. Single Arm Triceps Stretch.

Starting position—As before, but one arm extended sideways in line with the shoulder.

Movement —The bent arm is straightened without any other part of the body deviating from the starting position.

c. French Curl.

Starting position —Left hand holds one handle in line with the seam of the trunks with the handle on the inside of the hand between the wrist and body. This arm remains straight throughout the pull. The strands pass across the back to the right hand, which is held behind the neck with the arm bent so that the upper part is close against the side of the head.

Movement —Keeping the body upright and the upper arm still, the arm is straightened to an overhead position.

d. Downwards Triceps Stretch.

Starting position —The left arm is stretched overhead and the right arm is bent so that the hand is in the region just below the shoulder blades, the strands thus passing over the left shoulder.

Movement —Straighten the arm, keeping the right upper arm in the same place throughout the pull.

e. Bent Forwards Triceps Stretch.

Starting position —Body bent forward, strands held in right hand and the other handle under the right foot. Lift the right elbow as high as possible so that it is pointing towards the roof.
