Weight Plate Triceps Extension Seated Tips

  1. Choose an appropriate weight plate that challenges your triceps but allows you to maintain proper form throughout the exercise.
  2. Sit on a sturdy bench with your back straight and feet firmly planted on the ground, creating a stable base for the movement.
  3. Hold the weight plate with both hands, palms facing upward, and position it behind your head at the top of the movement.
  4. Engage your triceps by slowly lowering the weight plate towards the back of your neck, keeping your elbows close to your head.
  5. Avoid using momentum or swinging your arms during the exercise; focus on controlled and deliberate movements to maximize triceps activation.
  6. At the bottom of the movement, pause for a brief moment, feeling the stretch in your triceps, then push the weight plate back up to the starting position.
