Step by step

How to do the Dumbbell Tricep Extension -Pronated Grip

  1. 1

    Lie down on a flat bench holding two dumbbells directly above your shoulders. Your arms should be fully extended and form a 90 degree angle from your torso and the floor.

  2. 2

    The palms of your hands should be facing forward, and your elbows should be tucked in. This will be your starting position.

  3. 3

    Now, inhale and slowly lower the dumbbells until they are near your ears. Be sure to keep your upper arms stationary and your elbows tucked in.

  4. 4

    Then, exhale and use your triceps to return the weight to the starting position.
