Dumbbells Triceps Extension Incline (alternating)rn. Tips

  1. Start by setting an incline bench at a comfortable angle, ensuring stability and support for your upper body. This will allow you to focus solely on engaging your triceps during the exercise.
  2. Grab a pair of dumbbells with an appropriate weight for your fitness level. Remember, it’s better to start with lighter weights and gradually increase as you gain strength and confidence.
  3. Position yourself on the bench, lying face up with your feet firmly planted on the ground. Hold the dumbbells with an overhand grip, palms facing each other, and extend your arms straight up towards the ceiling.
  4. Slowly lower one dumbbell towards the side of your head, keeping your upper arm stationary and close to your head. Focus on engaging your triceps as you extend your forearm back to the starting position. Alternate between arms, ensuring a controlled and smooth movement.
