How to do it

  1. Start standing with your feet separated at the width of your shoulders.
  2. Hold a dumbbell in one hand and raise it above the head until the arm is completely widespread.
  3. Make sure your side is close to your ear.
  4. This is your initial position.
  5. Then, slowly lower the dumbbell behind the head while keeping the fixed elbow.
  6. You must feel a stretch in the triceps.
  7. Be sure to keep the core tight and straight back throughout the movement to protect the spine.
  8. Finally, use the triceps to lift the dumbbell to the initial position.
  9. That would be a repetition.
  10. Remember, it is important to perform this exercise with a load that allows you to maintain the correct technique and control the movement at all times.
  11. Repeat the exercise with the other arm.
