Bodyweight Kneeling Triceps Extension

Target Muscle

Equipment

1

Place your hands on the ground slightly narrower than shoulder-width apart, with your fingers facing forward, and extend your body into a straight line from your head to your knees.

2

Slowly bend your elbows to lower your body towards the floor, keeping your elbows close to your body to engage your triceps.

3

Once your forehead nearly touches the floor, push your body back up using your triceps until your arms are fully extended.

4

Repeat this movement for the desired number of repetitions, ensuring you maintain a straight body line and good form throughout the exercise.

Pro Tip

**Controlled Movement**: As you lower your body towards the ground, make sure the movement is slow and controlled. Avoid dropping down too quickly as this can put unnecessary pressure on your joints and doesn't effectively engage the triceps. **Maintain Body Alignment**: Keep your back straight and your core engaged throughout the exercise. Avoid arching your back or letting your hips sag, as this can lead to back pain and reduces the effectiveness of the exercise. **Full Range of Motion**: Ensure you're extending your arms fully at the top of the movement. This maximizes the engagement of your triceps. A common mistake is to only partially extend the arms, which reduces the effectiveness of the exercise. **Breathing Technique**:
