TRAIN DO WORK
TRICEPS BAR EXTENSION
Start: Load a triceps bar to your desired weight, then grasp the two interior
handles with a neutral grip. Stand upright with your head level and back straight,
while separating your feet slightly for stability. Raise the bar overhead, then let
your arms flex at the elbows to bring the bar backward behind your head.
Action: With only your forearms in motion here, extend your arms using force
from your triceps to raise the bar directly overhead. As with all triceps exercises,
if you want to really emphasize their involvement, you’ll keep your elbows tucked
in closely at the sides rather than allowing them to flare outward. Pause at the top
for a second, then repeat for reps.
