Exercise Description
Static Lying Triceps Extension is a good workout that helps you to increase triceps strength, brings stability to your shoulders and arms, improves flexibility, and increases range of motion.
Exercise Instructions

Step 1
Lie down on your back on a flat bench and grab an EZ bar with a shoulder-width overhand grip and hold it above your chest with your arms fully extended. -
Step 2
Lower the bar by bending your elbows at a 90-degree angle until the bar is just above your forehead. Stay in this position as long as possible (up to 40 seconds). After a static hold, return the bar to its original position.
