EZ-Bar Lying Close-Grip Triceps Extension Behind Head

The behind-the-head lying extension on an EZ-bar, hands on the inner bends; the angled grip eases the wrists in the deep stretch.

How to do it

Setup

Lying on a bench, EZ-bar on the inner bends over the forehead, upper arms tilted back.

Steps

Bend the elbows until the bar is behind the head.
Keep the elbows narrow and the upper arms at their tilt.
Extend back to the start above the forehead.

Common mistakes

Taking the outer bends: the close grip is on the inner ones. Upper arms drifting forward: hold their tilt. Rushing the stretch behind the head: lower slowly.

Breathing

Inhale lowering, exhale extending.
