Dumbbell Lying Triceps Extension

How to do it

1. Lie on a flat bench holding a dumbbell in each hand, arms extended straight above the chest with palms facing each other.
2. Keep the upper arms stationary and vertical as you bend the elbows to lower the dumbbells toward the sides of the head.
3. Extend the elbows to press the dumbbells back up, working the triceps brachii through a full range of motion.
4. Keep the feet flat on the floor and the core braced so the lower back stays flat on the bench.
5. Inhale as the dumbbells lower, exhale as you press them back to the top.
6. Common fault: avoid letting the elbows flare outward or the upper arms drift back toward the face.
