Triceps Exercises -

Two Handed Dumbbell Extension:

This exercise works the entire tricep most specifically the medial and lateral heads. It especially works the beginning range of the tricep. It gives a fuller range of motion than does the two handed exercise.



1. Stand erect with your feet shoulder width apart ,a dumbbellresting on your shoulder with both hands supporting itsweight(thumbs wrapped around bar.


2. You should hold the dumbbell with a regular "curl" grip. Thestarting position should look like the weight is being used toscratch the upper back.



3. Holding the upper arms still, inhale, lift the weight, keepingyour elbows pointed straight up throughout the movement.



4. Pause at the top of the movement, exhale, lower and repeatthe entire movement.



5. You do not need to fully extend your arm(s) during thismovement. The tricep is at it's strongest when your arm is bentat a 90 degree angle. If you fully extend your arm using heavyweights you can cause major compression and possibleserious injury to the elbow joint.
