One Arm Supinated Dumbbell Triceps Extension

Train your triceps using only dumbbells.

This variation uses a palm-up (supinated) grip to challenge the triceps through a slightly different angle.

Instructions

  1. Lie flat on a bench with one dumbbell held straight above your body, palm facing toward your face.
  2. Rest your non-lifting hand on your upper arm for stability.
  3. Lower the dumbbell behind your head in a smooth, controlled arc.
  4. Extend the arm to return to the start, squeezing the triceps at the top.
  5. Perform all reps, then switch arms and repeat.
