TRICEPS

Seated Tricep Press

BeginnerDumbbell

A seated single-dumbbell isolation move that hits all three heads of the triceps. Because the weight travels from behind your head to full overhead lockout, the long head gets stretched and loaded through a big range. Sitting removes the temptation to cheat with your legs, keeping the work on the arms.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Sit on the end of a bench, feet planted about shoulder-width apart, holding one dumbbell upright at chest level with both palms cupped under the top plate.

  2. 2

    Tighten your midsection and drive the dumbbell straight up overhead, pointing your elbows forward.

  3. 3

    Keep your upper arms pinned close to your ears and bend at the elbows to lower the weight behind your head.

  4. 4

    Stop once your forearms brush your biceps, then reverse the motion and press back to full lockout.
