How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 01Hold one end of a towel overhead with the working arm and have your partner hold the lower end behind you.
  2. 02Bend the working elbow so the hand moves behind the head while the upper arm stays mostly vertical.
  3. 03Straighten the elbow against the steady resistance supplied through the towel.
  4. 04Keep the ribs down and avoid letting the shoulder or upper arm drift during the extension.
  5. 05Return slowly against resistance, complete the set, and switch arms and partner roles.
