The Dumbbell Decline Triceps Extension is a great exercise for targeting the triceps muscles. It involves using a pair of dumbbells while lying on a decline bench to fully isolate and work the triceps.
How to perform
Step by step instructions:1. Set up a decline bench at a slight decline angle and secure your feet at the end of the bench.
2. Grab a pair of dumbbells and lie back on the bench with your head at the lower end.
3. Extend your arms straight up towards the ceiling, holding the dumbbells directly above your chest with your palms facing each other.
4. Slowly lower the dumbbells towards your head by bending your elbows, keeping your upper arms stationary and close to your head.
5. Lower the dumbbells as far as you comfortably can, feeling a stretch in your triceps.
6. Pause for a moment at the bottom of the movement, then extend your arms back up to the starting position, fully contracting your triceps.
7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, focusing on maintaining control and proper form throughout the exercise.
It is important to choose an appropriate weight that challenges you but allows you to perform the exercise with proper form. Be sure to warm up before performing this exercise and consult with a fitness professional if you are unsure about proper technique.
