- Stand upright, feet shoulder width apart with a dumbell in your right hand.
- Hold the weight directly above your head with your right arm fully extended. Clasp your right elbow with your left hand. Your left forearm should be infront of your face.
- Slowly let your right elbow fold so that the weight is lowered behind your head. From this position extend your arm back to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of reps and then switch arms.
French Presses
- Lie flat on a bench with a dumbell in either hand. Hold the weights directly above your chest with palms facing each other. The weights should be just about touching each other.
- Keeping your shoulders locked, let your elbows fold so the weights are lowered down to either side of your head.
- Extend both your arms back to the start position and repeat.
- Make sure there is no shoulder movement on this exercise. The movement should come purely from your elbows.
Triceps Kickbacks
- Stand upright with the bench next to your left leg. Bend your left leg and rest it on the bench. Bend from your lower back and support yourself by placing your left hand on the bench. Your upper body should be parallel to the ground.
- Hold the weight in your right hand and raise your elbow so your upper arm is parallel to the ground. Your elbow should also be bent at right angles. Think of holding a pool cue ready to make a shot. In fact the movement is exactly the same...
- Extend your elbow so now your entire arm is parallel to the ground.
- Slowly return the weight to the start position and repeat for the desired number of reps before switching arms.
