Exercise Description

Exercise Instructions

  • Step 1

    Prepare for a triceps reversal by picking up a bench on a flat surface and planting a dumbbell on the left side at one end.
  • Step 2

    Position yourself on the left side of the bench with your right knee and right hand on the bench.
  • Step 3

    Using a neutral grip, grab a dumbbell in your left hand. Keep your back straight and look straight ahead. Press your left shoulder against your body and bend your elbow, forming a 90-degree angle with your shoulder and forearm. This is the starting position.
  • Step 4

    Moving only by the elbow, lift the dumbbell behind you until your arm is fully extended. Pause, then lower the dumbbell back to the starting position.

Exercise Tips

  • Keep your head straight and look ahead, as this will keep your back straight.
  • Move the weight with your triceps, maintaining control of the weight as you slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.
  • Keep your body as still as possible, moving only your forearms.
