Dumbbells Triceps Extension Standing Tips

  1. Keep your feet shoulder-width apart and stand tall with a slight bend in your knees, ensuring a stable base for the exercise. This will help you maintain balance and stability throughout the movement.
  2. Hold a dumbbell in each hand, gripping them firmly with your palms facing inwards towards your body. This grip will activate your triceps muscles more effectively, allowing for a greater range of motion.
  3. Engage your core muscles by drawing your belly button towards your spine. This will provide additional support to your lower back and help you maintain proper posture throughout the exercise.
  4. Begin the movement by bending your elbows and bringing the dumbbells up towards your shoulders, keeping your upper arms close to your body. This is your starting position.
  5. Extend your forearms by straightening your elbows and lifting the dumbbells above your head. As you do this, focus on squeezing your triceps at the top of the movement, feeling the contraction in the back of your arms.
