Overhead Dumbbell Triceps Extension
One dumbbell held in both hands overhead, lowered behind the head and pressed back up.
How to do it
Setup
One bell held in both hands overhead, elbows up by the ears.
Steps
- Lower the bell behind the head by bending the elbows.
- Keep the elbows pointing forward and high.
- Extend back to lockout overhead.
Common mistakes
Elbows flaring sideways: forward and narrow. Back arching under the overhead load: ribs down, glutes tight. Cutting the stretch: behind-the-head depth is the point.
Breathing
Inhale lowering, exhale extending.
