Keeping Fit is A Daily Battle

Tricep extensions also works your elbow extensors. Beware that overhead lifts could be dangerous especially if your weights are removable. Make sure the collars are tight and engage a spotter if you are using heavier weights.

Proper Execution:

1. Lie on your back on a bench with your head slightly over the end of the bench and your feet flat on the floor. Hold a barbell with your palms facing away and the weight resting on your palms. Extend your arms at about a 180-degree angle but not locked, the weight over the top of your head.

2. Keeping your upper arms stationary, slowly bend your elbows, lowering the weight until the bar is above your forehead. Hold for a second, then slowly return to the starting position.
