How to do a dumbbell incline two arm triceps extension

Setup:

1. Incline Bench: Adjust the bench to an incline of approximately 30-45 degrees.
2. Dumbbells: Select a pair of dumbbells.
3. Starting Position: Sit on the bench with your back against the backrest. Hold a dumbbell in each hand with a neutral grip (palms facing each other). Extend your arms straight up overhead so the dumbbells are positioned directly over your shoulders.

The Lift:

1. Controlled Lowering: Keeping your upper arms stationary and elbows tucked in, slowly bend your elbows to lower the dumbbells towards the sides of your head.
2. Deep Stretch: Lower the dumbbells until you feel a deep stretch in your triceps.
3. Press Upward: Extend your elbows to press the dumbbells back to the starting position. Avoid locking out your elbows at the top.

Tips:

• Forearm Vertical: Try to keep your forearms perpendicular to the floor throughout the movement.
• Upper Arm Angle: Your upper arms should stay at a consistent angle relative to the floor during the entire exercise.
• Slow and Controlled: Avoid using momentum. Focus on the triceps doing the work.
• Variation: You can also perform this movement with a single dumbbell, holding it with both hands.
