Incline Barbell Triceps Extension

Build stronger, more defined triceps using a barbell on an incline bench.

The incline setup gives this extension a unique angle of attack for the triceps. In FitnessTracker, it’s great for users seeking arm mass or strength with lower shoulder stress.

Instructions

  1. Lie back on an incline bench set between 45–75 degrees, holding a barbell with a close overhand grip.
  2. Extend your arms so the bar is over your head, elbows pointing upward.
  3. Lower the bar in a smooth arc behind your head, keeping your upper arms still.
  4. Stop when your forearms touch your biceps or you feel a deep stretch.
  5. Press the bar back up to the starting position and repeat.
