How to Do One Arm Against Wall

Step-by-step instructions, muscles worked and workouts that use the one arm against wall.

How to do it

1. From a standing position, place a bent arm against a wall or doorway.
2. Slowly lean toward your arm until you feel a stretch in your lats.

Form tips

• Start light and own the movement before adding weight.
• Control the lowering phase — don't drop into it.
• Keep breathing; exhale on the hardest part.
• Stop if you feel sharp pain (different from muscle burn).
