Overhead Dumbbell Extension
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This exercise works the entire tricep most specifically the medial and lateral heads. It especially works the beginning range of the tricep. It gives a fuller range of motion than does the two handed exercise.
|
How to do:
1. Stand erect with your feet shoulder width apart with a dumbbell
restin on your shoulder with your elbow pointing straight up and
your biceps flexed
2. You should hold the dumbbell with a regular "curl" grip. The
starting position should look like the weight is being used to
scratch the upper back.
3. Holding the upper arm still, inhale, lift the weight, keeping your
elbows pointed straight up throughout the movement.
4. Pause at the top of the movement, exhale, lower and repeat the
entire movement.
5. You do not need to fully extend your arm(s) during this
movement. The tricep is at it's strongest when your arm is bent at
a 90 degree angle. If you fully extend your arm using heavy
weights you can cause major compression and possible
serious injury to the elbow joint.
