How To

Keep your elbows close to your ears and pointing forward throughout the two arm standing dumbbell extension 3. Lower the dumbbell slowly behind your head until you feel a stretch in your triceps 4. Push the weight back up by extending your arms, focusing on squeezing your triceps 5. Complete your reps with controlled movement, keeping your core tight during the two arm standing dumbbell extension
