Incline Barbell Triceps Extension

Starting position:

Select the appropriate weight matching your type of training. Lie down on an incline bench and push your feet against the floor. Hold an EZ-Bar with an overhand grip (palms down) as close as possible. As you lie down, bring the EZ-Bar above your chest.

Exercise:

Lower the EZ-Bar by bending your elbows until it is just above your forehead. Keep your elbows locked in a shoulder-width position throughout. Keep your wrists firm. Breathe in as you go down and breathe out as you extend your arms.

Note:

Do not over overrate your capacity while selecting the appropriate weight. Keep your elbows locked in the correct position. Eliminate sideways motion. Make sure you avoid straining your lower back; both your chest and entire torso must be straight and firm all the way through. Make sure your hands are in the correct position and avoid extensive dorsal flexion in your wrists.

Recommendation:

It is advised to use a spotter, especially if you are working out with heavier weight. Choose the number of repetitions to match your training type.
