Exercise Description

The one arm seated dumbbell extension builds tricep strength and size by isolating each arm. This helps fix muscle imbalances and gives you bigger, stronger arms.

How To

1. Sit on a bench with your back straight, holding a dumbbell in one hand above your head 2. Keep your upper arm still and slowly lower the dumbbell behind your head by bending at the elbow 3. Feel a stretch in your tricep, then push the weight back up to the starting position 4. Complete all reps with one arm before switching sides for the one arm seated dumbbell extension 5. Keep your core tight and don't let your back arch during the movement

Form Tips

• Keep your upper arm locked in place - only your forearm should move during the one arm seated dumbbell extension • Control the weight down slowly to get the full stretch in your tricep • Don't let your elbow flare out to the side - keep it pointing forward • Use your free hand to support your working arm if needed for better stability

Common Mistakes

• Letting your upper arm move forward and back instead of keeping it still during the one arm seated dumbbell extension • Using too much weight and losing control of the movement • Arching your back excessively when performing the one arm seated dumbbell extension
