Dumbbell Decline Triceps Extension
The dumbbell lying extension on a decline bench, head below the hips, the bells lowered beside the head.
How to do it
Setup
Decline bench, feet hooked under the pads, bells above the chest in a neutral grip.
Steps
- Lower the bells past the ears by bending only the elbows.
- Keep the upper arms still, angled slightly back.
- Extend until the arms are straight over the chest.
Common mistakes
Getting on and off with heavy bells: pick them up once the feet are hooked, or have them handed over. Upper arms drifting toward the hips: that turns it into a press; fix them. Bells knocking the bench: stop a touch above it.
Breathing
Inhale lowering, exhale extending.
