With your elbows close to your body, start with your forearms parallel to the floor and the bar at chest level.
Push the bar down by extending your arms and contracting your triceps, keep your elbows stationary and your back straight.
Lower the bar until your arms are fully extended, but do not lock your elbows.
Slowly return to the starting position by allowing the bar to rise back up to chest level, maintaining control throughout the movement.
Pro Tip
**Avoid Using Too Much Weight:** A common mistake is using too much weight, which can not only lead to injuries but also compromise the form. Start with a lighter weight and gradually increase it as your strength improves. **Controlled Movements:** Ensure your movements are slow and controlled. Avoid jerking or using momentum to push the weight down as this can lead to injuries and less effective muscle engagement. **Full Range of Motion:** To get the most out of the exercise, make sure you're going through the full range of motion. This means fully extending your arms at the bottom and allowing them to come back up to about a 90-degree angle.
