Dumbbell Tricep Extension -Pronated Grip
How to perform
- 01Lie down on a flat bench holding two dumbbells directly above your shoulders. Your arms should be fully extended and form a 90 degree angle from your torso and the floor.
- 02The palms of your hands should be facing forward, and your elbows should be tucked in. This will be your starting position.
- 03Now, inhale and slowly lower the dumbbells until they are near your ears. Be sure to keep your upper arms stationary and your elbows tucked in.
- 04Then, exhale and use your triceps to return the weight to the starting position.
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.
