Exercise Description: Dumbbell Overhead Triceps Extensions

Specs: Muscles Worked: The primary muscles worked during this exercise are the Triceps. Secondary are the Shoulders and Forearms

Instructions: Execution: Sit on the bench and rest a dumbbell on one leg. With force, kick the dumbbell up and press overhead. To grip the dumbbell effectively, cup one side with your two hands, with the bar running between your interlocked thumbs. This is the safest, and strongest way to grip the weight. When you are set, lower the dumbbell behind your head. With force, extend the weight back to the starting position. Repeat this motion until you have completed your desired reps. Form: Control the weight throughout the entire movement, especially during the negative portion. Range of Motion: Lower the dumbbell all the way behind your head as deep as you can to achieve a full stretch across the triceps. Do not sacrifice your range of motion for the use of a heavier weight.
