Muscle of the Month- Triceps
Exercise #4 – Tricep Extensions
Tricep extensions involve holding one weight, equally, in both hands and extending the arms over the head. You can be seated or standing for this exercise, just be sure to keep the abs tight to avoid arching the back. I recommend starting with light weights so you have more control. You can increase the weight as it becomes easier, probably every 2-3 weeks.
Keep the arms in close to your head and extend up until you have a slight bend in the elbows then slowly return to the starting position. As you get fatigued, it’ll become harder to keep the arms in so pay attention to that as you want to be sure you are concentrating specifically on the triceps muscle.
