Seated Dumbbell Overhead Triceps Extension focuses specifically on the triceps. It also activates your core, glutes, and lower back muscles.

Step 1
Sit on a bench with your back supported, holding a dumbbell in each hand. Fully extends your arms and lift the dumbbells above the head.
Step 2
Lower the dumbbells behind your head, bending at your elbows. Keep your elbows still. Stop as soon as the dumbbell touches your neck. Pause for a second, then return your arms to their original overhead position.

Seated Dumbbell Overhead Triceps Extension targets Shoulders, Triceps as seen below.

Try not to move your shoulders as you hold the dumbbells behind your head.
Don't make this move quickly. Slowly lower the weight to feel the stretch in your triceps.
