Lying Triceps Press
A strength training exercise that targets the triceps.
Instructions
- Lie on a bench holding a barbell or dumbbells with a pronated grip.
- Position the weights above your chest with arms fully extended.
- Slowly lower the weights toward your forehead, bending at the elbows.
- Keep your upper arms stationary throughout the movement.
- Once the weights are just above your forehead, press them back up to the starting position.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Allowing elbows to flare out too much, decreasing tricep engagement.
- Using too much weight and compromising form.
- Not keeping upper arms stationary, which shifts focus away from the triceps.
