EZ-Bar Incline Triceps Extension

Ez Barbell Incline Triceps Extension Instructions

- Incline bench

Positioning

1. Setup the Bench: Adjust the incline bench to a comfortable angle, typically between 30 and 45 degrees.
2. Grab the EZ Barbell: Start with the EZ barbell resting on the bench in front of you.
3. Seating Position: Sit back on the incline bench with your feet flat on the ground. Ensure your back is supported against the bench.

Starting Position

1. Grip the Bar: With both hands using a close grip (inside the bends of the EZ bar), lift the barbell off the bench.
2. Position the Bar: Extend your arms straight above your chest. Your elbows should be slightly bent to avoid strain.

Movement

1. Lowering the Bar: Slowly bend your elbows to lower the barbell behind your head. Inhale as you perform this motion. Keep your upper arms stationary; only your forearms should move.
2. Range of Motion: Lower the bar until you feel a mild stretch in your triceps. Do not drop the bar too low, as that might put undue stress on your shoulders.
3. Raising the Bar: Exhale as you push the barbell back up to the starting position by extending your elbows. Squeeze your triceps at the top of the movement.

Tips

- Maintain control of the bar throughout the exercise.
- Do not arch your back; keep your core engaged.
- Start with lighter weights to focus on form before increasing the load.

Repetitions

- Aim for 8-12 reps for 3-4 sets, depending on your fitness level.
