Triceps Press (Head Below Bench)
The body-weight triceps press on a bench edge, the head dropping below the bench; the low support loads the arms heavily.
How to do it
Setup
Hands shoulder-width on the bench edge, arms straight, feet back, body one line.
Steps
- Bend only the elbows, the head passing below the edge.
- Keep the elbows pointing at the floor.
- Straighten the arms to press back up.
Common mistakes
Hips sagging as the head drops: the body stays one line. Elbows flaring: point them down. Dropping below the bench too soon: build the range gradually.
Breathing
Inhale bending, exhale extending.
