Triceps

Tips

To keep more tension on the triceps, keep the elbows just short of lockout. Keep some tension through your core during the exercise and don’t allow your lower back to arch. Maintain your gaze straight ahead and don’t look to the side as this could be potentially injurious to your cervical spine.
