Bodybuilding: Overhead Triceps Dumbbell Extension

Video Transcript

"What I'll be performing here is the overhead triceps dumbbell extension. Pretty much, it's called the overhead because you're bringing it over your head. Flex the triceps on top. When you bring it down you're stretching it out. So, you definitely want to make sure you control it. You don't want to extend it with your arm straight out, you want to still keep it a little bent. Control it coming down, give it a good squeeze, a good stretch. Bring it out, give it a good flex on top. Continue this about eight repetitions, about eight to ten, and about three sets. Then you want to change it, switch arms, do the same motion. Now, if your arms are getting tired and you need some support you can use the other hand to kind of hold your arms straight and continue to that motion, flexing the triceps and stretching it out. And that's the overhead triceps extension."
