How to do tricep extensions
You know what gives
championship boxers their powerful jab? Biceps? Wrong, try
again. It's the triceps that are responsible for that
piston-like punch that will keep your opponent (or the heavy bag)
at bay. The bottom line is that it's an excellent way to work your triceps.
Here
is how you would perform this exercise.
1.
While standing or sitting, raise the dumbbell overhead and bend
your elbow to a point where you are feeling a stretch in the
tricep.
2.
Begin to straighten your elbow, and slowly return to your initial
starting position.
Don'ts
-Shift
your body from side to side in an effort to raise the weight.
-Snap
or lock your elbow upon straightening it.
-Allow
the weight to fall rapidly to the starting position.
Do's
-Keep
your abdomen tight whether sitting or standing.
-Concentrate
on your triceps and move gently through a full range of motion.
