Tips

Pin your elbow against your side to isolate the triceps and prevent unwanted movement; this ensures the focus remains on the targeted muscle group. At the top of the movement, powerfully squeeze your triceps to maximize muscle contraction and achieve a greater mind-muscle connection. Maintain a torso parallel to the floor to ensure consistent leverage and prevent momentum from assisting the exercise. Control the lowering phase (negative) by resisting the weight's pull, which builds strength and muscle endurance.
