How to perform

  1. 1

    Lie on a flat bench while holding two dumbbells directly in front of you. Your arms should be fully extended at a 90-degree angle from your torso and the floor. The palms should be facing in and the elbows should be tucked in. This is the starting position.

  2. 2

    As you breathe in and you keep the upper arms stationary with the elbows in, slowly lower the weight until the dumbbells are near your ears.

  3. 3

    At that point, while keeping the elbows in and the upper arms stationary, use the triceps to bring the weight back up to the starting position as you breathe out.

  4. 4

    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.
