STRICT FORM ... FEEL THE MUSCLE
[ ** BACK TO EXERCISE PAGE ** ]

<  SEATED 1 ARM DUMBBELL EXTENSIONS  >

Start Position: Sit on a bench or chair in an upright position with padding to support your back. Firmly plant feet and hold a dumbbell in one hand over your head. Your elbow should have just a slight bend. I like to put my free hand on my triceps to keep my upper arm stable and fixed.

MidPoint: Keeping your elbow close to your head and in a fixed position, lower the dumbbell behind your head until you feel a good stretch in your triceps. Don't hyperextend your elbow!

Finish Position: Keeping your elbow in the same position, bring the dumbbell back to the starting position. Do 10-12 reps for each arm.
