Behind Back Biceps Stretch (Bodyweight)

Also known as: Behind Back Biceps Stretch (Bodyweight).

A biceps stretch with the hands behind the body.

How to perform this exercise

Stand upright with relaxed shoulders and join the hands behind the hips, keeping the elbows comfortably long.
Gently move the joined hands backward/upward only enough to feel a comfortable front-upper-arm stretch; hold without bouncing, then release. This is a timed stretch rather than a loaded curl.
