Exercise Data
Main Muscle Worked: Tricep
Other Muscles Worked: None
Equipment: Bench, Dumbell
How To Do:
1. Grab a dumbell in one hand and put the other hand and 1 knee on a flat bench (see pic)
2. Point your elbow as high as you can towards the ceiling while leaving the dumbell hanging by your side
3. Slowly extend your arm until it is as straight as it will go (DO NOT change the position of your elbow!)
4. Pause for a second, then lower back to starting position
5. Repeat steps 3&4 for desired reps
6. IMPORTANT: Your upper arm and elbow should not move at all during the enter set. This is very important! If you cant do a complete set without moving your upper arm/elbow drop the weight off.
Tips: Keep your elbow as high as possible throughout the whole movement. DO NOT move your elbow as you move the dumbell! Also, make sure you extend your arm fully - no cheating! To hit your tricep muscles that little bit harder, pause for 2 seconds at the top of the tricep kickback.
