Ez Barbell Seated Triceps Extension Instructions

- Flat bench

Positioning:
1. Sit on a flat bench with your back straight. Your feet should be flat on the ground, hip-width apart.
2. Hold the Ez barbell with both hands, palms facing inward, and grip it at the inner angled parts of the bar.
3. Raise the barbell overhead, extending your arms fully. Your elbows should remain close to your head and pointed forward.

Movement:
1. Slowly lower the barbell behind your head by bending your elbows. Keep your upper arms stationary and close to your ears.
2. Lower the barbell until you feel a stretch in your triceps. Do not let your elbows flare out to the sides.
3. Press the barbell back to the starting position by extending your elbows, engaging your triceps throughout the movement.
4. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, maintaining control and proper form throughout the exercise.

Tips:
- Start with a light weight to master the form before increasing the load.
- Avoid arching your back; keep your core engaged to support your spine.
- Exhale as you lift the weight and inhale as you lower it.
