Position

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a dumbbell with both hands overhead, arms extended.

Movement

• Lower the dumbbell behind your head by bending your elbows, keeping them close to your head.
• Extend your arms back to the starting position, fully engaging your triceps.

Breathing

Inhale as you lower the dumbbell and exhale as you extend your arms.

Tips

• Focus on using your triceps to lower and lift the dumbbell, rather than relying on momentum or other muscles for assistance.
• Avoid arching your back or using excessive momentum to lower the dumbbell, as this can strain the shoulders and reduce the effectiveness of the exercise.
• Start with a light weight to ensure proper form and gradually increase the resistance as you build strength.
