Instructions
1. Select an appropriate weight for your dumbbells. Begin by lying flat on the floor on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground.
2. Hold the dumbbells with your arms fully extended above your chest, palms facing each other. This is your starting position.
3. Keeping your upper arms stationary, slowly bend your elbows to lower the dumbbells in a controlled motion until they are just above your shoulders. Your arms should form approximately a 90-degree angle.
4. Maintain tension in your triceps as you pause briefly at the bottom of the movement.
5. Without any momentum, exhale and push the dumbbells back up to the starting position by extending your arms and contracting your triceps.
6. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions, ensuring that your triceps are engaged throughout the exercise.
7. Ensure strict form, avoiding any unnecessary movements or arching of the back to prevent injury.
8. After completing a set, safely place the dumbbells to the side before getting up from the floor.
