Instructions
Select an appropriate weight kettlebell and set an incline bench to a comfortable angle (around 30-45 degrees).
Sit on the bench with your back firmly against the pad and feet planted on the ground for stability.
Grab the kettlebell with both hands and hold it directly above your chest with your arms fully extended. The kettlebell should be upside down with the handle facing the ceiling and your hands gripping the base of the kettlebell.
Keeping your elbows fixed and pointing straight up, slowly lower the kettlebell behind your head by bending your elbows. Your biceps should remain close to your head throughout the movement.
Lower the kettlebell until you feel a stretch in your triceps or until your forearms are just beyond parallel to the floor.
Pause briefly at the bottom, then extend your arms back to the starting position by contracting your triceps.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets, ensuring that you maintain proper form to avoid injury and to target the triceps effectively.
Perform this exercise with controlled movements, focusing on the triceps contraction, and avoid using momentum to lift the weight.
Do not drop your arms below a point that causes discomfort in your shoulders.
Avoid locking the elbows at the top of the extension to maintain tension on the triceps.
Start with lighter weights to perfect your form before progressing to heavier kettlebells.
