  3. Push the bar down towards your thighs by straightening your elbows, keeping your upper arms stationary.
  4. Slowly return to the starting position with control. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Form tips

  • Focus on squeezing your triceps at the bottom of the movement.
  • Exhale as you push the straight bar down and inhale as you return to the starting position.
