Stand or sit and use an overhand grip on the bar with your arms extended upward. You can also use dumbbells.<\/p>\n

1. Inhale and bend your elbows to lower the bar behind your neck. If you feel too much pressure on your elbows, don\u2019t lower them so much or use a lighter weight.<\/p>\n

2. Return to the starting position. Exhale while you complete the extension.<\/p>\n

Notes: Do not arch the back. Either contract your abdomen muscles or use a seat with back to prevent this.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

For safety reasons, do not arch your back. If possible, use a bench with a short back for support.<\/p>\n
