Bodybuilding Arms Exercise - Tricep Extensions

It is a basic combined arms exercise that enables you to use a lot of weight through a very full range of motion.

You can use either a barbell or a dumbbell with this exercise for upper arms.

You can either sit or lie back on a bench.

If you prefer being seated, sit up near the front edge of either a chair type bench or a flat bench, feet flat on floor and even with shoulders.

If you lie back, place a curl bar on the ground at the head of a bench.

Here’s the right way to perform this best arms exercise: For both sitting and standing tricep extension, grip the barbell about shoulder width apart with palm facing in.

Keep your elbows in to get the full effect and pull the bar over raising that arm straight toward the ceiling and extend your arms until they are straight with the weight over your chest.

Slowly bend raised arm at elbow lowering the weight behind your head.

With an explosive motion, push the weight back over your head and extend your arms fully.

It is better to have a spotter you can trust and bring the weight down, under control, to the head and drive it up.

Stretch your triceps fully at the bottom of the movement to maximize the results of this exercise to tone arms.

Well, there you have it! Remember -- most of your arm size is triceps, not biceps, so if you want big guns, start packing on the weight with this great lift.

This combined arms exercise will have you say goodbye to flabby arms!
