How to do it

1. Set an incline bench to a 45-degree angle and lie back against it. Hold a dumbbell in each hand with your arms extended straight up, palms facing each other.
2. Bend your elbows to lower the dumbbells behind your head in a controlled motion.
3. Lower the dumbbells until your forearms are parallel to the floor, maintaining a 90-degree angle at your elbows.
4. Extend your elbows to raise the dumbbells back to the starting position, keeping your upper arms stationary. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Form tips

• Exhale as you extend the dumbbells upward and inhale as you lower them.
• Keep your upper arms stationary to ensure the movement targets your triceps.
• Use a slow and controlled motion to avoid swinging and ensure proper muscle engagement.
