Instructions:
- 1Hold a dumbbell in each hand with your arms fully extended and palms facing your body
- 2Keep your upper arms stationary, exhale and extend your arms backwards as you fully flex your triceps
- 3Pause at the top of the contraction, then inhale and slowly lower the weights back down to the starting position
Tips:
- Keep your back straight and your elbows close to your body to ensure the exercise targets the triceps
- Avoid using your back or shoulders to lift the weights, the movement should come from the elbows
- Control the dumbbells’ descent not to strain your biceps and elbow joints
- Progressively increase the weight as your strength improves
