Muscle outlines from Body Muscles by Ivan Vulović, Apache 2.0 — regrouped and recoloured for Muscle Train.
Extend arms straight back, straightening elbows and squeezing triceps. Inhale as you slowly bend elbows to return to the starting position, keeping upper arms still.
To protect your shoulder joints, keep your elbows tucked close to your body throughout the movement, preventing them from flaring out. Fully extend your upper arms at the top of the movement to maximize triceps engagement and ensure a complete range of motion. Focus on squeezing your triceps hard at the peak contraction to really feel the muscle working. Lower the weight with control, resisting the pull of gravity to build strength and stability. Maintain a neutral spine and engage your core throughout the exercise to stabilize your body and prevent lower back strain.
