Finger Extensors

This important stretch is unfortunately overlooked by many climbers. It stretches and warms up the extensor muscles of the back of the forearm; when done religiously, it will help prevent lateral tendinosis (often called tennis elbow).

1. Stand with your arms relaxed by your sides.

2. Bring your arms together in front of your waist. Straighten the arm to be stretched, make a tight fist, and place it in the palm of your other hand.

3. With your fist hand in the thumb-up position, gently pull the fist inward to create a mild stretch along the back of your forearm.

4. Hold this stretch for ten seconds, and then slowly rotate your forearm to work the stretch for an additional ten seconds with the fist turned to the thumb-down position.

5. Repeat this stretch with your other hand.
