How to do a ez-barbell incline triceps extension

Setup:

1. Bench Angle: Set an incline bench to a 45-60 degree angle.
2. Position: Lie back on the bench, holding an EZ-bar with a narrow, overhand grip.
3. Starting Position: Press the bar up so it's directly over your chest with your arms fully extended.

The Movement:

1. Lowering: Keeping your upper arms still, bend at the elbows to slowly lower the bar towards your forehead or just behind your head.
2. Stretch: Lower the bar until you feel a good stretch in your triceps.
3. Extension: Exhale and use your triceps to press the bar back to the starting position. Squeeze at the top.

Tips:

• The EZ-bar can be more comfortable on the wrists than a straight bar for this exercise.
• Keep your elbows tucked in and pointing towards the ceiling as much as possible.
• Control the weight on the way down to protect your joints (and your head).
