Lying Tricep Extension to Forehead
Lying Tricep Extensions are one of the best tricep strength and muscle builders available if you are needing to develop extra tricep strength to improve your performance on your other functional strength lifts and exercises.
To perform the Lying Tricep Extension, simply lay flat on a bench and hold a straight bar or EZ Curl barbell straight up over your face with you arms extended and your hands grasping the bar at a grip width of about 6-10 inches apart from one another. (Also, if you use a thumbless grip, you will be able to put more emphasis on the tricep muscles during the exercise). Lower the bar to your upper forehead (right around the hairline) without allowing your elbows to move (only the forearm part of the arms will move). Once you have lowered the bar to the forehead, smoothly extend your arms back up by contracting your triceps tightly. Squeeze the triceps as tightly as you can as the top of the extension and then lower the bar back again to repeat for the planned number of repetitions.
