  2. 2

    Start with your arms fully extended above your chest, elbows in a fixed position.

  3. 3

    Slowly lower the bar by bending your elbows until the bar is just above your forehead.

  4. 4

    Extend your arms back to the starting position, focusing on contracting your triceps.

  5. 5

    Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Expert tip

Keep your elbows stationary and close to your body to isolate the triceps effectively.
