Incline Barbell Triceps Extension

A 200-characters-or-less explanation of the exercise.

Instructions

• Lie back on an incline bench holding a barbell with a shoulder-width grip.
• Extend your arms above you, keeping your elbows close to your head.
• Slowly lower the barbell towards your forehead by bending your elbows.
• Pause, then extend your arms back to the starting position.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Flaring elbows out too much during the lift, which can stress the shoulder joints.
• Using too much weight, leading to poor form and reduced range of motion.
• Not fully extending the arms at the top of the lift, which limits triceps engagement.
• Lowering the bar too quickly, increasing the risk of injury.
