Lying Tricep Extension
Builds the long head of the triceps for bigger arms.
What it works
Triceps
How to do it
- 1Lie on a bench with the bar held over the chest.
- 2Bend at the elbows only, lowering the bar toward the forehead or just behind it, then extend back up.
- 3Keep the upper arms still and angled slightly back — letting them drift makes it a press.
Cues that matter
- ›Lower to the forehead/behind the head
- ›Elbows pointing up, fixed
- ›Control the stretch
