Exercise Execution Guide

Starting Position

Sit on an upright bench, back firmly against the bench’s back rest, and grab a straight-bar or an EZ-bar with your hands slightly narrower than shoulders width apart. The bar or EZ-bar should be above your head with your arms outstretched and your triceps squeezed.

Execution

Lower slowly the bar behind your head until your elbows are at least a 90° angle. Then slowly come back to the starting position and squeeze your triceps at the top. Keep your back straight throughout the movement.

Equipment Required: Straight Bar / EZ Bar, Bench
