EZ-Bar Lying Triceps Extension

The lying extension on an EZ bar lowered behind the head rather than to the forehead; the angled grips spare the wrists.

How to do it

Setup

Lying on a flat bench, the EZ bar held over the chest on its angled grips, arms straight up.

Steps

Bend the elbows and let the bar travel back behind the head.
Keep the elbows narrow and pointing up.
Extend back to straight arms over the chest.

Common mistakes

Bar clipping the head: lower it behind the head, not onto it. Elbows drifting wide: keep them in. Hips lifting off the bench: stay flat, feet planted.

Breathing

Inhale lowering, exhale extending.
