Triceps on the head with dumbbell
Intermediate10 repsNo jumping
How to do it
- Start standing with your feet separated at the width of your shoulders.
- Hold a dumbbell in one hand and raise it above the head until the arm is completely widespread.
- Make sure your side is close to your ear.
- This is your initial position.
- Then, slowly lower the dumbbell behind the head while keeping the fixed elbow.
- You must feel a stretch in the triceps.
- Be sure to keep the core tight and straight back throughout the movement to protect the spine.
- Finally, use the triceps to lift the dumbbell to the initial position.
- That would be a repetition.
- Remember, it is important to perform this exercise with a load that allows you to maintain the correct technique and control the movement at all times.
- Repeat the exercise with the other arm.
