The Dumbbell Standing Bent Over One Arm Triceps Extension is a strength-training exercise that targets the triceps muscle in the back of the upper arm. This exercise helps to tone and strengthen the triceps, which can enhance arm definition and increase arm strength.
How to perform
To perform the Dumbbell Standing Bent Over One Arm Triceps Extension, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in one hand.
2. Bend your knees slightly and hinge at your hips to lean forward, keeping your back straight and your chest up.
3. Extend your arm overhead, keeping your elbow close to your head and your palm facing in towards your body.
4. Lower the dumbbell behind your head by bending your elbow, keeping your upper arm fixed in place.
5. Pause at the bottom of the movement, then slowly straighten your arm to return to the starting position.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, then switch arms and repeat on the other side.
It's important to keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to maintain stability and prevent strain on your lower back. Start with a lightweight dumbbell to ensure proper form, and gradually increase the weight as you become more comfortable with the movement.
