How to do the Body Tricep Press
- 1
Position a bar in a rack at chest height.
- 2
Standing, take a shoulder width grip on the bar and step a yard or two back, feet together and arms extended so that you are leaning on the bar. This will be your starting position.
- 3
Begin by flexing the elbow, lowering yourself towards the bar.
- 4
Pause, and then reverse the motion by extending the elbows.
- 5
Progress from bodyweight by adding chains over your shoulders.
Log it, see it on your body.
