Dumbbell Single-Arm Triceps Extension

Starting Position:

• Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.

• Hold a dumbbell in one hand.

• Raise that arm overhead so that your elbow is close to your ear and your upper arm is pointing straight up.

Hand Position:

• Your palm should face forward, gripping the dumbbell firmly.

Movement:

• Slowly bend your elbow to lower the dumbbell behind your head. Keep your upper arm stationary; only your forearm should move.

• Lower the dumbbell until your forearm is at around a 90-degree angle, or as far as comfortable.

Return:

• Press through your elbow to extend your arm back to the starting position, raising the dumbbell overhead again.

Repetitions:

• Perform 8-12 repetitions for one set.

• Switch arms and repeat.

Tips:

• Keep your core engaged throughout the movement to maintain stability.

• Avoid flaring your elbow out; keep it close to your head.

• Move slowly and with control to prevent injury.

Breathing:

• Exhale as you lift the dumbbell back to the starting position, and inhale as you lower it.
