Lying Dumbbell Tricep Extension

An isolation exercise targeting the triceps.

Instructions

• Lie on a flat bench holding a dumbbell in each hand with arms fully extended above your chest.
• Keep your elbows close to your head and perpendicular to the floor.
• Slowly lower the dumbbells by bending at the elbows until they are near your ears.
• Extend your arms back to the starting position.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Flaring elbows out to the sides instead of keeping them close to the head.
• Using too much weight, leading to poor form and potential injury.
• Not lowering the dumbbells far enough, reducing range of motion.
