Dumbbell Seated Alternate Overhead Triceps Extension
Seated with a dumbbell in each hand overhead, lowering one behind the head at a time while the other stays locked.
How to do it
Setup
Seated tall on a bench with back support, both bells locked out overhead.
Steps
- Lower one bell behind the head, elbow pointing up.
- Press it back overhead to a straight arm.
- Switch arms, the idle one staying straight above.
Common mistakes
Idle arm sagging forward: keep it stacked over the shoulder. Back arching off the pad: keep it flat against it. Working elbow flaring out: point it at the ceiling.
Breathing
Inhale lowering, exhale extending.
