About

It is a workout that contracts triceps muscle by lifting the dumbbell above your head. Be careful not to move your elbows during workout!

Coach's Tips

Prepare by holding the dumbbell as if it's resting on your hands overlapped in a triangle shape. Make sure your elbows don't drift apart by keeping them next to your head. Only extend your arms to the point where you can feel the stimulation in your triceps, so they don't overextend! If you don't feel the stimulation well while standing, it's okay to sit on a bench and lean your back!

Starting Position

1. Please spread your legs shoulder-width apart.

2. Hold the dumbbell with both hands and bring them behind your head.

3. Engage your core and keep your elbows fixed next to your head.

Proper Form

1. Please stretch your arms above your head.

2. Slowly return to the starting position while bearing the weight.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when you raise your arms, and inhale when you lower them.

Precautions

1. Please be careful not to let your elbows flare out.

2. Please be careful not to overextend your arms.

3. Please be careful not to let the dumbbell move too far from your head.
