How to do it
Kneel or stand beside a roll ball and rest your forearm and elbow on top of it with your arm overhead. Let your chest sink toward the floor so the ball rolls your arm back, feeling the stretch travel through the back of your upper arm and down your side into the lats. Hold, breathing steadily, then switch sides.
