Stand facing the machine with your hands on the bar and your elbows touching, i.e., anchored to your sides.<\/p>\n

1. Inhale and straighten your arms by pushing them downward until the bar touches the front of your legs. Don\u2019t let your elbows leave your sides.<\/p>\n

2. Exhale while you complete the movement. Return to starting position for the next repetition. Your forearms will be parallel to the floor. Perform next repetition.<\/p>\n

Notes: This isolation exercise works the triceps and the anconeus.<\/p>\n

When returning to the starting position, you can do so slowly to feel the exercise more intensely.<\/p>\n

To be more stable with heavy weights, lean a little forward for better balance.<\/p>\n

For beginners, this is one of the easiest triceps exercises. Build a good strength foundation with it before progressing to more difficult exercises.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
