VIDEO DEMO:
EXERCISE INSTRUCTIONS:
- SETUP: Lie on a flat bench, and take an EZ-bar up above your chest with arms fully extended. I like to use the narrow-grip of the EZ-bar, but you can use the wider grip if it feels more comfortable to you.
- REP: Lower the bar behind your head, while keeping your elbows locked in place, don’t let them flare out. Press the bar back up and squeeze your triceps hard.
- TIP: We are focusing on Partial Reps here, so I’m working exclusively in the bottom third of the range of motion.
