Bodyweight Kneeling Triceps Extension
The body-up from the knees: from the forearms, the elbows straighten to lift the chest onto the hands; the knees take part of the weight.
How to do it
Setup
Kneeling, forearms on the floor ahead of the shoulders, palms flat, hips over the knees.
Steps
- Straighten the elbows to lift the chest up onto the hands.
- Keep the hands where they are; the elbows do the moving.
- Lower the forearms back to the floor slowly.
Common mistakes
Rocking back onto the knees to cheat the lift: keep the hips over the knees. Flaring the elbows out: point them back along the ribs. Dropping onto the forearms: lower them softly.
Breathing
Exhale pressing, inhale returning.
