Beginning
Beginning Triceps Extension Above the Head
1. Begin with either your right foot or left foot in front. The opposite foot will go back about 1-2 feet with about a 6-inch gap between feet; this will give you good support and keep you upright.
2. With this proper form, hold the dumbbells straight overhead.
3. Try to keep your arms tight alongside your head during the entire exercise, since this will place the most amount of tension on your triceps.
Movement
