Overhead Triceps Extension
How to do it
- Sit or stand holding one dumbbell in both hands, cupping the top head.
- Press it overhead until your arms are straight.
- Keeping your elbows pointed at the ceiling and close together, lower the weight behind your head.
- Lower until you feel a stretch, then press back up.
- Only your forearms move. If your elbows flare out, go lighter.
