How to Do
How to Do Dumbbell Triceps Extension Above the Head Standing Triceps Curls
Your feet should be shoulder width apart. Begin the exercise by standing up nice and straight back straight, not curved, shoulders back, chest out, and head looking forward.
Each dumbbell triceps extension above the head standing triceps curls should begin with a good posture to avoid injury. Brace the spine by drawing your lower abdomen inward. Your core muscles should be activated to support your posture as you perform the exercise.
If any pain is experienced, immediately stop this dumbbell triceps extension above the head standing triceps curls.
Beginning
Beginning Triceps Extension Above the Head
With the proper form, hold two dumbbells straight overhead. Try to keep your arms tight alongside your head during the entire exercise, which will place the most amount of tension on your triceps.
Movement
Triceps Extension Above the Head Movement
1. With your arms straight over your head, you are going to bend your arms back using your elbow until your arm forms a 90 degree angle.
2. Control the dumbbells coming down and give a slight pause when you reach the bottom of the exercise.
3. After a very brief pause, you are going to lift the weights back up to the straight position with control and strength. That is one repetition.
Benefits
Triceps Extension Above the Head Benefits
The primary advantage of the overhead triceps extension is the triceps hypertrophy that occurs as a result of the motion. Unlike other triceps exercises, the triceps extension activates all three heads of the triceps, which means that this exercise will strengthen your entire triceps.
