Standing Tricep Extension - Barbell
Stand with good posture (tummy tight; shoulders back; chest out; chin in) and bend your knees to pick up the barbell keeping your back straight. Hold the barbell with your hands shoulder width apart and your palms facing towards you.
To give your body more strength, higher stability and lower your chances of arching your back take a step forwards.
Raise the barbell up above your head keeping good posture and not arching your back. Keep your elbows just in front of your ears throughout the movement and slowly drop the barbell down behind your head by bending at the elbow. Do not let the shoulders move during the exercise.
When your elbows have reached 90 degrees or you have gone as far as you can in control then bring the barbell back up to the starting position, only moving at the elbow joint and not at the shoulders.
