Slowly lower the barbell towards your forehead by bending your elbows, keeping your upper arms stationary and perpendicular to your body throughout the movement.
Once the barbell is near your forehead, pause for a moment, then use your triceps to extend your arms and raise the barbell back to the starting position.
Ensure to keep your elbows in the same position throughout the exercise and avoid any unnecessary movement in your shoulders.
Repeat this movement for the desired number of reps, ensuring to maintain control of the barbell and not letting it drop too rapidly.
Pro Tip
**Controlled Movements:** Lower the barbell slowly towards your forehead by bending at the elbows. Your upper arms should remain stationary throughout the exercise. A common mistake is to move your upper arms or shoulders, which can lead to injury and reduces the effectiveness of the exercise on the triceps. **Avoid Locking Your Elbows:** When you push the barbell back to the starting position, stop just before your elbows are fully locked. Locking your elbows can put unnecessary strain on the joint and potentially cause injury. **Maintain a Neutral Spine:** Keep your back flat against the bench and avoid arching your lower back
