Exercise Description and Instruction:

This Weight Training Exercise is a great variation of Triceps Extension but is done lying on a bench and with a different movement to isolate your triceps. It is very similar to Barbell Reverse Triceps Extension but uses dumbbells rather than a barbell.

To Perform This Exercise:

Lie flat on a bench with your head at one end and grasp dumbbells in each hand at arms length over your shoulders.
Lower the dumbbells in an arc by bending your elbows until your forearms are touching your biceps just behind your head.
Slowly return to the starting position by fully extending your arms and pressing with your triceps.

Tips:

Practice this exercise with light weight to get used to the movements.
Keep your elbows in a fixed position throughout the exercise.
