Dumbbell Pronate-Grip Triceps Extension
The lying dumbbell extension with the palms facing the feet instead of each other; the overhand grip turns the bells across the head as they lower.
How to do it
Setup
Lying on a flat bench, a bell in each hand above the chest, palms facing the feet, upper arms angled slightly back.
Steps
- Bend the elbows to lower the bells behind the top of the head.
- Keep the upper arms still and the elbows narrow.
- Straighten the arms to bring the bells back over the face.
Common mistakes
Elbows splaying wide as the bells lower: keep them in line with the shoulders. Letting the bells touch the head: stop just short of it. Rocking the upper arms to start the press: only the forearms move.
Breathing
Inhale lowering, exhale extending.
