Common mistakes
You sit back fast and far, spiking the stretch instead of easing into it.
You let the heels of the hands peel off the mat, which unloads the stretch entirely.
You lock the elbows hard and hang on the wrist joints rather than the forearm muscles.
What to focus on
Keep every corner of the palm rooted and treat tiny weight shifts as full reps of stretch.
You should feel a pull along the underside of the forearm, not pain inside the wrist — back off if it moves into the joint.
Add a round with the palms up and fingers back to hit the other side of the forearm.
