Body Tricep Press

How to perform

1. 01Position a bar in a rack at chest height.
2. 02Standing, take a shoulder width grip on the bar and step a yard or two back, feet together and arms extended so that you are leaning on the bar. This will be your starting position.
3. 03Begin by flexing the elbow, lowering yourself towards the bar.
4. 04Pause, and then reverse the motion by extending the elbows.
5. 05Progress from bodyweight by adding chains over your shoulders.

Form cues

• —Drive through the full range — do not cut the lockout short.
• —Control the lowering phase — that is where most of the growth stimulus lives.

Common mistakes

• —Using momentum instead of the target muscle.
• —Cutting the range of motion short to add load.
