What I'll be demonstrating here is the laying down tricep extension. Pretty much you want for support, you want to go ahead and have your hand that's not holding the dumbbell holding that elbow. You want to go ahead and lower the dumbbell slowly, keep the triceps flexed. Bring it up, straight out, flexing that tricep. Again you want to do this in a controlled motion. Make sure while bringing it down and bringing it up that your triceps is staying flexed. And you want to do about three sets, to about eight to ten reps on each arm. Once you finish doing, say you decide to do eight reps, once you finish doing the eight reps with that one tricep you want to go ahead and switch it up. Go ahead and perform the same motion, eight to ten reps and then continue doing it until you complete your three sets. And that's how you do your laying down tricep extension.
