Overhead Triceps

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

Instructions

• Stand or sit with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell with both hands.
• Raise the dumbbell overhead until your arms are straight.
• Keep your upper arms close to your head and elbows in, then lower the dumbbell behind your head by bending your elbows.
• Return to the starting position by extending the elbows and repeat.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Flaring elbows out wide during the movement.
• Arching the back instead of keeping it straight.
