Dumbbell Tricep Extension - Pronated Grip

Challenge your triceps with this controlled extension variation.

This extension targets the long head of the triceps while encouraging strict form. Using a pronated grip limits wrist rotation and helps ensure safe, consistent reps.

Instructions

  1. Lie flat on a bench holding two dumbbells directly above your shoulders, arms extended.
  2. Keep your palms facing forward and elbows tucked in.
  3. Lower the dumbbells slowly near your ears while keeping your upper arms stationary.
  4. Use your triceps to return the dumbbells to the starting position.
  5. Repeat for the target number of repetitions.
