The Ez Barbell Incline Triceps Extension is a strength training exercise that targets the triceps muscles in the upper arms. This exercise is performed using an Ez barbell while lying on an inclined bench.
How to perform
Step-by-step instructions:1. Begin by adjusting the bench to a 45-degree incline.
2. Sit on the bench with your feet flat on the floor, and grasp the Ez barbell with an overhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart.
3. Extend your arms straight up towards the ceiling, keeping your elbows close to your head and palms facing forward.
4. Slowly lower the barbell towards your forehead, bending at the elbows. Keep your upper arms stationary throughout the movement.
5. Once the barbell is at forehead level, pause briefly, then press the barbell back up towards the ceiling by fully extending your arms.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
7. Remember to breathe consistently throughout the exercise, exhaling as you push the barbell up and inhaling as you lower it down.
8. Ensure proper form by keeping your core engaged and your back flat against the bench throughout the exercise. Avoid overarching your back or using momentum to lift the barbell.
9. Once you have completed the set, carefully place the barbell back on the rack and rest before performing another set if desired.
