How to do a ez-barbell decline triceps extension

Setup:

1. Decline Bench: Adjust a bench to a decline angle of approximately 15-30 degrees.
2. EZ-Bar Placement: Secure your feet under the leg pads or hooks on the decline bench. Position the loaded EZ-curl bar on the floor behind your head.
3. Grip: Lie back on the bench with your head at the lower end. Grasp the EZ-curl bar with an overhand grip on the inner grips, hands shoulder-width apart or slightly narrower.
4. Starting Position: Extend your arms straight up overhead so that the bar is positioned over your forehead. Your elbows should be pointing towards the ceiling and close to your head.

The Lift:

1. Controlled Lowering: Keeping your upper arms stationary, slowly bend your elbows to lower the EZ-curl bar towards your forehead. The bar should travel in a straight line down towards the top of your head.
2. Deep Stretch: Lower the bar until you feel a deep stretch in your triceps.
3. Extend Upward: Extend your elbows to press the bar back up 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.
• Elbow Position: Keep your elbows tucked in close to your head throughout the movement.
• Grip: The EZ-curl bar allows for a more comfortable grip for many people compared to a straight bar.
