Triceps
Secondary: Anterior Delts, Flexors, Rectus Abdominis

Tips

Keep your elbows tucked close to your head throughout the exercise to isolate the triceps and prevent shoulder involvement, ensuring the focus remains on the targeted muscle group. Engage your core and maintain ribs down to stabilize your torso and prevent excessive arching or rounding of the back, which can compromise form and increase risk of injury. Ensure a full stretch at the bottom of the movement by allowing your elbows to bend fully behind your head, maximizing the range of motion and promoting muscle growth. Squeeze your triceps forcefully at the top of the movement to fully contract the muscle and enhance muscle activation, contributing to strength and definition.
