Bench Tricep Press

Lie on your back, holding a suitably weighted barbell at arms length above your shoulders, with your hands shoulder width apart.

START

MIDDLE

FINISH

Smoothly lower the bar down below your head, keeping your upper arms vertical, enabling all the movement to come from the elbow joint, keeping your arms close to your head throughout, in order to help isolate the tricep muscle.

Exhale and lift the bar back to your starting position prior to repeating again.

Can also be performed with a close or wide grip, on a declined or inclined bench.
