k, this stretch

Quote:

Bring left arm across front of body as shown.
Hold elbow with right arm and gently pull arm across chest, until a stretch is felt.
Hold for 10-15 seconds.
Repeat for other side.
Repeat cycle three times, at least three times daily.

i do constantly because they taught us that one in karate when i was a kid and its always felt good. i can actually touch the opposite side of my shoulder blade with my arm. both sides. thats about as far as i can go tho, just because my front gets in the way. if that makes sense.

im making myself one of these.

that looks like it feels really really good.
