4. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

Form tips

• Keep your upper arms stationary and close to your ears throughout the exercise to effectively target the triceps.
• Engage your core to maintain stability and avoid arching your back.
• Perform the movement slowly and with control to maximize muscle activation and prevent injury.
