Raise the barbell over your head until your arms are fully extended, keeping your elbows close to your head and perpendicular to the floor; this is your starting position.
Slowly bend your elbows to lower the barbell behind your head while keeping your upper arms stationary, stopping when your forearms touch your biceps.
Pause for a moment at the bottom of the movement, then push the barbell back up to the starting position, using your triceps to lift the weight.
Repeat this movement for the desired number of repetitions, ensuring to maintain proper form and control of the barbell at all times.
Pro Tip
**Correct Grip**: Grip the barbell with your hands shoulder-width apart. Your palms should be facing upward. An incorrect grip can not only reduce the effectiveness of the exercise but also increase the risk of injuries. **Controlled Movement**: Avoid fast, jerky movements while performing the exercise. Instead, focus on slow, controlled movements. Lower the barbell slowly behind your head, then raise it back up to the starting position. This will engage your triceps more effectively and also minimize the risk of injury. **Avoid Locking Elbows**: When you extend the barbell, avoid locking your elbows. This is a common mistake that can lead to elbow strain or injury. Instead, keep a slight bend in your elbows at the top of the movement.
