Fitness Tracker is a local-first, privacy-focused fitness application that helps you measure progress, track workouts, and stay consistent — all without subscriptions, logins, or tracking. This page covers how to perform the lying triceps press, including tips, variations, and the muscle groups it targets.
Instructions
- Lie down slowly on a flat bench with either an e-z bar (my preference) or a straight bar placed on the floor behind your head and your feet on the floor. for best results.
- Grab the bar behind you, using a medium overhand (pronated) grip, and raise the bar in front of you at arms length. Tip: The arms should be perpendicular to the torso and the floor. The elbows should be tucked in. This is the starting position. for best results.
- As you breathe in, slowly lower the weight until the bar lightly touches your forehead while keeping the upper arms and elbows stationary. for best results.
- At that point, use the triceps to bring the weight back up to the starting position as you breathe out. for best results.
- Repeat this exercise for the recommended amount of repetitions. for best results.
