How to perform the bent-over arm extension?

The movement is performed by:

  • the arm muscles (triceps)

Additionally, it works:

  • the shoulders, back, and glutes (stabilize the posture)

Starting position:

Place your feet hip-width apart and lean your torso forward. Hold the dumbbells with a hammer grip. Keep your elbows bent.

Movement: Straighten your elbows, lifting the dumbbells back. Slowly return to the starting position. Repeat.

Tips: Tighten your abdominal muscles. Remember to keep your back straight. Knees slightly bent. Avoid hyperextending your elbows. Keep your head aligned with your torso.

You will need dumbbells for this exercise.
