Exercise Description

The tricep tiger tail exercise builds tricep strength and definition through an advanced bodyweight movement. It targets the back of your arms while improving shoulder stability.

How To

1. Start in a downward dog position with hands planted firmly on the ground 2. Walk your feet closer to your hands, creating a pike position for the tricep tiger tail setup 3. Bend your elbows straight back, lowering your head toward the ground in a controlled motion 4. Push through your palms to return to the starting tricep tiger tail position 5. Complete 8-12 reps focusing on smooth, controlled movement throughout

Form Tips

• Keep your elbows close to your body during the tricep tiger tail movement to maximize tricep activation • Maintain a straight line from your hips to your head throughout the entire range of motion • Control the descent slowly - don't drop down quickly or you'll miss the muscle-building benefits • Keep your core tight to prevent your lower back from sagging during the tricep tiger tail exercise

Common Mistakes

• Letting elbows flare out wide instead of keeping them tucked close to your sides during tricep tiger tail • Moving too fast through the range of motion, which reduces muscle activation and control • Allowing the lower back to sag or pike too much, which takes focus away from the tricep tiger tail target muscles
