#Info – Lying Dumbbell Triceps Extension

To optimize the lying dumbbell triceps extension, focus on form. Keep your elbows close to your head to target the triceps effectively. A common mistake is flaring elbows, which reduces efficiency. Control the weight both up and down to prevent momentum from taking over. For beginners, start with lighter weights to master form. Advanced users can increase weight or try single-arm variations for added challenge. Adjust your grip to vary the tricep engagement. Incorporate this exercise to build tricep strength, enhancing overall arm stability and pushing power. Always ensure a stable bench position to maintain proper alignment and avoid strain.
