Slowly raise the barbell above your head until your arms are fully extended, keeping your elbows close to your head and your upper arms still throughout the movement.
Hold this position for a moment, ensuring your core is engaged and your back is straight.
Gradually lower the barbell back down to the initial position behind your head, maintaining control and keeping your elbows stationary.
Repeat this process for the desired number of repetitions, ensuring to keep your movements smooth and controlled.
Pro Tip
Controlled Movement: Slowly lower the barbell down behind your head while keeping your upper arms and elbows stationary. The movement should only happen at the elbow joint. Avoid swinging the barbell or using your back or shoulders to help lift the weight. Full Extension: Extend your arms back to the starting position without locking your elbows. This ensures your triceps are fully engaged throughout the exercise. Not extending the arms fully is a common mistake which can reduce the effectiveness of the exercise. Appropriate Weight: Use a weight that is challenging but allows you to maintain proper form. Using a weight that is too heavy can lead to improper form, reducing the effectiveness of the exercise and
