2nd. Commencing from the same position, the ends of both clubs are
swung upward until they are held, vertically and side by side, at arm’s
length in front of the body, the hands being as high as the shoulders
(Plate II. fig. 4); they are next carried in the same position, at
arm’s length, and on the same level, as far backward as possible (Plate
II. fig. 5); each is then dropped backward until it hangs vertically
downward (Plate II. fig. 6); and this exercise ends as the first.
Previous, however, to dropping the clubs backward, it greatly improves
this exercise, by a turn of the wrist upward and backward, to carry the
clubs into a horizontal position behind the shoulders, so that, if long
enough, their ends would touch (Plate III. fig. 1); next, by a turn
of the wrist outward and downward, to carry them horizontally outward
(Plate III. fig. 2); then by a turn of the wrist upward and forward,
to carry them into a horizontal position before the breast (Plate III.
fig. 3); again to carry them horizontally outward; and finally to drop
them backward as already explained; and thence to the first position.
All this is also done slowly.
3rd. The clubs are to be swung by the sides, first separately, and then
together, exactly as the hands were in the last extension motion.
