Triceps
Instructions
- Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent.
- Hold an EZ bar with an overhand grip, hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
- Bring the EZ bar up to shoulder height, keeping your upper arms parallel to the ground.
- Extend your arms fully, lifting the EZ bar above your head.
- Lower the EZ bar behind your head, keeping your elbows pointed forward.
- Bend your elbows and slowly lower the EZ bar down until your forearms are parallel to the ground.
- Extend your arms back up to the starting position, squeezing your triceps.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Advice
- Maintain proper form and technique throughout the exercise.
- Use a grip that is comfortable for you, but be sure to keep a secure hold on the EZ bar.
- Engage your core muscles by bracing them and maintaining a stable posture during the movement.
- Control the weight throughout the entire range of motion and avoid using momentum to lift the bar.
- Focus on feeling the contraction in your triceps as you extend your arms.
- Start with lighter weights and gradually increase the load as you become more comfortable and stronger.
- Take a rest day between workouts to allow your muscles to recover and grow.
- Ensure that your elbows stay close to your head throughout the exercise to maximize triceps activation.
- Avoid placing excessive strain on your wrists by maintaining a neutral hand position.
- Incorporate this exercise into a well-rounded triceps workout routine for optimal results.
