Exercise Description

Seated EZ-Bar Overhead Triceps Extension increases triceps strength, improves flexibility, brings stability to your shoulders and arms, and increases range of motion. Narrow grips focus more on the outer part of the triceps.

Exercise Instructions

  • Step 1

    Sit on a bench with the EZ bar in your lap with a medium grip. Raise the EZ bar straight above your head with your arms fully extended. You can also ask your partner to pass the bar to you in the starting position.
  • Step 2

    Keeping your arms still, bend your elbows and lower the EZ bar towards the floor. Stop right before the EZ-Bar hits your neck. Pause at the bottom position and extend your arm back to the starting position, tensing your triceps.
