Seated EZ-Bar Triceps Extensions

Stand or sit and use an overhand grip on the bar with your arms extended upward. You can also use dumbbells.

1. Inhale and bend your elbows to lower the bar behind your neck. If you feel too much pressure on your elbows, don’t lower them so much or use a lighter weight.

2. Return to the starting position. Exhale while you complete the extension.

Notes: Do not arch the back. Either contract your abdomen muscles or use a seat with back to prevent this.

This is a good exercise to stretch the long head of the triceps and work it very intensely. Also, the overhand grip helps to work the lateral head of the triceps.

For safety reasons, do not arch your back. If possible, use a bench with a short back for support.
