Exercise Description

Standing overhead ez bar tricep extension builds strong, defined triceps while working your core for stability. It hits all three heads of your triceps for complete arm development.

How To

1. Stand with feet hip-width apart, hold an EZ bar with both hands using an overhand grip about shoulder-width apart. 2. Press the EZ bar overhead until your arms are fully extended, keeping your core tight and shoulders stable. 3. Lower the bar behind your head by bending only at your elbows, keeping your upper arms still and pointing straight up. 4. Stop when you feel a good stretch in your triceps, then press the weight back up by straightening your elbows. 5. Complete your reps with control, keeping your standing overhead ez bar tricep extension form strict throughout the set.

Form Tips

• Keep your elbows pointing forward and close to your head during the entire standing overhead ez bar tricep extension movement. • Your upper arms should stay still - only your forearms move up and down. • Engage your core to prevent arching your back as you lift the weight overhead. • Use a controlled tempo - don't let the weight drop fast behind your head.

Common Mistakes

• Flaring your elbows out wide instead of keeping them tucked in during the standing overhead ez bar tricep extension. • Moving your upper arms or shoulders instead of isolating the tricep movement. • Using too much weight and compensating with your back or losing proper form during the standing overhead ez bar tricep extension.
