Seated Dumbbell (DB) Triceps Extensions

Sit holding the dumbbell in both hands behind your neck. The forearm should be about horizontal to the floor.

1. Inhale and extend your arms straight until they are above your head.

2. Exhale while you complete the movement. Return to starting position for the next repetition.

Notes: The vertical position of the arms stretches the long head, which helps work the triceps well.

Do not arch your back. The best way to keep from doing so is to contract your abdominal muscles or use a bench that has a back support.
