For FitnessTracker users aiming to increase triceps size and overhead strength, this standing variation allows heavier loading while reinforcing shoulder alignment and control.
Instructions
- Grip a barbell or EZ bar with a narrow, overhand grip and lift it overhead to full extension.
- Keep your elbows tucked and upper arms vertical throughout the movement.
- Lower the bar behind your head in a controlled arc until you feel a stretch in your triceps.
- Pause briefly, then extend your elbows to press the bar back overhead.
- Complete all reps without letting your upper arms drift forward or outward.
