What it works

Triceps

How to do it

  1. 1Hold one dumbbell overhead with both hands, or one in each hand.
  2. 2Lower behind the head by bending the elbows only, keeping them pointing forward and close together, then extend.
  3. 3The overhead position stretches the long head, which is the part most arm training misses.
