Dumbbell Seated Bench Extension

Target Muscle

Equipment

1

Slowly bend your elbows to lower the dumbbell behind your head, keeping your elbows close to your head and your upper arms stationary.

2

Lower the dumbbell until your forearms are more than parallel to the floor, ensuring the movement is controlled and steady.

3

Pause for a moment at the bottom of the movement, then extend your arms back up to the starting position, pushing the dumbbell back up over your head.

4

Repeat this movement for the desired number of repetitions, making sure to keep your back straight and your core engaged throughout the exercise.

Pro Tip

Weight Selection: Choose a weight that you can control throughout the entire range of motion. It's a common mistake to use a weight that's too heavy, which can lead to improper form and potential injury. Start with a lighter weight and gradually increase as you get stronger. Controlled Movements: Avoid fast, jerky movements. Instead, lower and raise the dumbbell in a slow, controlled manner. This not only reduces the risk of injury but also ensures that your muscles are fully engaged throughout the exercise
