Triceps Extension

Triceps Extension

Lockout Strength

WHAT IS IT

The Triceps Extension straightens the elbows against a dumbbell, cable or band, overhead or lying down. It builds the lockout that finishes every push press, wall ball and burpee.

HOW TO DO IT CORRECTLY

  1. 1Hold the weight overhead with the elbows pointing forward, or lie back with it over the chest.
  2. 2Bend the elbows to lower the weight behind the head or toward the forehead.
  3. 3Keep the upper arms still through the whole movement.
  4. 4Straighten the arms fully without locking the elbows hard.
  5. 5Lower under control; the elbows never flare out.
