This variation uses a palm-up (supinated) grip to challenge the triceps through a slightly different angle.
Instructions
- Lie flat on a bench with one dumbbell held straight above your body, palm facing toward your face.
- Rest your non-lifting hand on your upper arm for stability.
- Lower the dumbbell behind your head in a smooth, controlled arc.
- Extend the arm to return to the start, squeezing the triceps at the top.
- Perform all reps, then switch arms and repeat.
