Getting a Shirt Off--The Elbow Hook

Do you a have a buddy that you work with that has a terrible time getting their shirt off when you are going for a swim?

It took me a little bit to figure it out for him but I discovered he has been missing the "elbow hook". 

The pulling of the neck or trying to pull the arm through first has been a source of stress for my friend until I taught him the elbow hook. 

Here is how it goes:

1. Reach across the front of the belly to grab the bottom of the shirt. 

2. Lift the bottom of the shirt over the opposite elbow. 

3. Now pull up with the elbow and hand together pulling the shirt over the head. 

Try it yourself thinking about the steps. You might find out it is EXACTLY what you do yourself!
