Stretch the outer forearm

Stretch the outer forearm

In this lesson you will learn how to stretch the outsides of your forearms.
This stretch is very simple. Many people think it is better to pull the hand down in order to stretch the outside of the forearm. However, I think pulling the hand just harms the joint. Moving the hand to the right direction should be totally enough to stretch the outer forearms.
Furthermore, I can't think of any exercise where this kind of flexibility is required, so it's not worth injuring your wrists for it. Use this stretch when you warm up for techniques where you stand on your hands ( inner forearm stretch is more important ) and when you train the outside of your forearms.

# Extend you elbows and make fists. You don't have to lift your arms sideways.
You can also lift your arms in front of you or let them hang. Just make sure your elbows are extended.
# The palms should point towards your legs or the floor. ( backhands point up )
# Pull down your knuckles with the strength of your inner forearms, so that your outer forearms are stretched. It is not necessary to pull down your hand with the help of the other arm or by pressing your backhand against a wall.
