Virtual Gym - Triceps Workout

Dumbbell Behind the Head Triceps Extension

From eDiets

Starting Position:

• Stand with a dumbbell in your right hand and your left hand on
  your hip.
• Press the weight over your head until your right arm is almost
  straight with a slight bend in the elbow at the top position.
• Do not allow the weight to touch your head or neck area.

Movement:

• Slowly bend your elbow, lowering the weight until your arm forms a 90 degree angle behind your head stopping before the weight touches your back.
• Contracting the triceps muscles, slowly return to the starting
  position.

Key Points :

• Exhale while returning to the starting position.
• Inhale while lowering the weight.
• After completing the set on the right side, repeat on the left side.
• This exercise is not to be performed with large dumbbells. The
  technique is more important than the weight.
• You can also perform this exercise while seated on a bench.
