How to perform

  1. 1

    Hold a barbell with an overhand grip (palms down) that is a little closer together than shoulder width.

  2. 2

    Lie back on an incline bench set at any angle between 45-75-degrees.

  3. 3

    Bring the bar overhead with your arms extended and elbows in. The arms should be in line with the torso above the head. This will be your starting position.

  4. 4

    Now lower the bar in a semicircular motion behind your head until your forearms touch your biceps. Inhale as you perform this movement. Tip: Keep your upper arms stationary and close to your head at all times. Only the forearms should move.

  5. 5

    Return to the starting position as you breathe out and you contract the triceps. Hold the contraction for a second.

  6. 6

    Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

Important tips

  • Lock out fully without hyperextending the elbow.

  • Keep your wrists neutral and steady.

  • Feel the triceps work — not the shoulders carry.
