Triceps
Instructions
- Begin by setting the bench to a slight incline, around 30 to 45 degrees.
- Lie back on the incline bench with your feet firmly planted on the ground, ensuring your back is supported.
- Grip the EZ-Barbell with both hands, using an overhand grip, and lift it above your chest, fully extending your arms.
- Lower the EZ-Barbell slowly towards your forehead by bending your elbows while keeping your upper arms stationary.
- Make sure to keep your elbows close to your head throughout the movement.
- Once you feel a stretch in your triceps, reverse the motion by extending your arms, bringing the EZ-Barbell back up to the starting position.
- Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions while maintaining controlled movement throughout.
Advice
- Focus on maintaining a neutral spine throughout the exercise to avoid strain on your back.
- Ensure your grip on the EZ-Barbell is firm but not overly tense to promote better control and muscle engagement.
- Warm up your triceps and shoulders with dynamic stretches to improve flexibility and prevent injury.
- Utilize a spotter if you are lifting heavier weights to ensure safety and proper form.
- Incorporate progressive overload by gradually increasing weight or reps over time to continue making gains.
- Experiment with different wrist angles on the EZ-Bar to find the most comfortable and effective position for your wrists.
- Engage your core throughout the movement to enhance stability and control.
- Include variations in tempo, such as slowing down the eccentric phase, to increase time under tension.
- Stay hydrated and properly fueled with a balanced diet to support muscle recovery and growth.
- After your workout, perform static stretches for the triceps to promote flexibility and reduce soreness.
