Exercise Description

This is an exercise that targets the tricep muscles. You don't need to lift a lot of weight for this exercise to be effective, so start off with a pretty light barbell.

Muscle Groups: Triceps

Step Number 1

Lay on your back in the supine position. Your feet should be on the ground, but your knees should be elevated in the air, so your logs won’t be stretched out on the ground. Start by holding the bar above you. Your hands should be in a narrow grip. You don’t want your hands touching, but they are closer than shoulder width apart.

Step Number 2

Start the exercise by lowering the bar towards the crown of your head. Your elbows should be bent, but make sure to keep them together. Your palms should be facing upward. Notice that you shouldn’t be able to see the bar, as it should be behind your head. Then push bar back up to original position (with arms extended holding bar away from body).

Step Number 3

Next, lower the bar to your forehead. Don’t have the bar touch your forehead, you want to keep it at least several inches from your head. Notice that you should be keeping the same hand position. Then push bar back up to original position.

Step Number 4

Finally, lower the bar down towards your chest. You want the bar to be slightly above the bottom of your chest or the bottom of your bra line. Then push bar back up to original position.
