Barbell Triceps Extension Lying

Video coming soon...

The barbell triceps extension lying workout is a compound exercise that targets the triceps muscles.

Using a barbell allows for a greater range of motion and increased resistance for triceps engagement.

The exercise involves lying on a bench, holding the barbell with an overhand grip, and extending the arms upward.

By isolating the triceps, this workout effectively strengthens and tones the back of the upper arms.

Start by lying flat on a bench with your feet flat on the ground and your knees bent.
Hold a barbell with an overhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart, and extend your arms straight up above your chest.
Keeping your upper arms stationary, slowly lower the barbell down towards your forehead, bending your elbows.
Pause for a moment when the barbell is just above your forehead.
Using your triceps, extend your arms back up to the starting position, fully straightening your elbows.
Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.
When finished, carefully lower the barbell back down to your chest and sit up to remove the barbell from your grip.

Position yourself on a flat bench with your feet firmly planted on the ground, grasping the barbell with an overhand grip slightly narrower than shoulder-width apart. This grip will help target your triceps effectively.
Ensure your elbows are tucked in close to your head and pointing towards the ceiling throughout the exercise. This proper form will engage your triceps muscles more efficiently, allowing for maximum activation and growth.
As you lower the barbell towards your forehead, focus on keeping your upper arms stationary. This controlled movement will prevent unnecessary strain on your shoulders and ensure that your triceps bear the brunt of the exercise.
Exhale forcefully as you extend your arms and push the barbell back up to the starting position. This exhalation will help you generate more power and maintain stability, allowing your triceps to work harder and become stronger.
Remember to start with a weight that challenges you but still allows you to maintain proper form. Gradually increase the weight as you become more comfortable and confident with the exercise. Consistency and patience are key to achieving your triceps goals!
