Target Muscle

Equipment

1

2

Push down the bar by extending your arms and contracting your triceps, keeping your elbows stationary throughout the movement.

3

Lower the bar until your arms are fully extended but not locked at the elbows.

4

Slowly return to the starting position by bending your elbows and raising the bar back to the level where your forearms are parallel to the floor.

Pro Tip

Proper Grip: Use an underhand (reverse) grip on the bar. Your palms should be facing upwards. This grip targets the triceps more effectively. Do not grip the bar too tightly as this can lead to wrist strain. Controlled Movement: Push down on the bar, fully extending your arms without locking your elbows. Make sure the movement is controlled both on the way down and on the release back up. Avoid letting the weight snap back up, as this can lead to injury and reduces the effectiveness of the exercise. Maintain Posture: Keep your back straight and your core engaged throughout the exercise. Avoid leaning too far forward or backward as this can strain your back. Full Range of Motion:
