Instructions:
- 1Stand up straight with a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing your torso.
- 2Extend your arms fully overhead.
- 3While keeping your upper arms close to your head and elbows in, lower the dumbbells in a semicircular motion behind your head until your forearms touch your biceps.
- 4Lift the dumbbells back to the starting position.
- 5Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
Tips:
- Keep your elbows close to your head.
- This exercise can be easier to balance when performed seated in order to isolate the triceps.
- To fully stretch the triceps, try to reach a full range of motion by lowering the weights as far as possible.
- Control the weight on the way down to prevent injury.
