Instructions

  1. Sit on a bench holding a dumbbell in one hand. Fully extend your arm and raise the dumbbell above your head with the other hand resting on your thigh.
  2. Lower the dumbbell by bending your elbow, but don't let your arm move. Do a good triceps stretch and stop just before the dumbbell hits your neck. Pause and return to the starting position.

  • Slowly lower the weight to feel the stretch in your triceps.
  • Keep your shoulder locked down and back for stability.
