Lying triceps extensions
Intermediate10 repsNo jumping
How to do it
- Starting position for this
- practical triceps exercise is lying on a standard bench holding a barbell or two dumbbells in both hands with an overhand grip, hands at shoulder width apart.
- Begin with arms over your upper
- chest and elbows bent back at about a 45-degree angle.
- First bend at the elbows and
- then allow the upper arm to drop back, bringing the barbell/dumbbells behind your
- head and down toward the floor. In terms of upper arm position, the barbell/dumbbells should never be fully above your head, but instead behind it, to
- ensure that you’re targeting the triceps.
- Keep the shoulder blades tucked
- under, the elbows tight in toward your head and your core active during
- this entire movement.
