Lying Dumbbell Tricep Extension

How to do the Lying Dumbbell Tricep Extension

1. 1

   Lie on a flat bench while holding two dumbbells directly in front of you. Your arms should be fully extended at a 90-degree angle from your torso and the floor. The palms should be facing in and the elbows should be tucked in. This is the starting position.

2. 2

   As you breathe in and you keep the upper arms stationary with the elbows in, slowly lower the weight until the dumbbells are near your ears.

3. 3

   At that point, while keeping the elbows in and the upper arms stationary, use the triceps to bring the weight back up to the starting position as you breathe out.

4. 4

   Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
