Pro Tip

**Elbow Positioning:** Keep your elbow close to your body and avoid moving it during the exercise. A common mistake is to let the elbow drift away from the body or move back and forth, which can strain your shoulder and won't effectively target the tricep. **Controlled Movement:** Ensure that you control the weight throughout the entire movement, both when pushing down and when returning to the starting position. Avoid letting the weight snap back quickly as this can lead to injury and won't effectively work your tricep. **Appropriate Weight:** Start with a lighter weight and gradually increase as your strength improves. Using a weight that is too heavy can lead to improper form and potential injuries. **Full Range of Motion:** Make sure
