Tricep Press

Tricep Press Instructions

• Set up a bar in a rack roughly level with your waist.
• You can use a flat bench if it will stay stationary during the movement.
• Grip the bar/bench just outside shoulder-width.
• Walk your feet back till your arms extended.
• Legs and feet are together.
• Slight bend in the elbows.
• Because of the hand position, your mid-section will be more flexed versus a traditional push-up or plank position.
• Your back will be in a rounded position. 
• Bend at the elbows and lower yourself forward & under the bar/bench.
• Initiate the mind-muscle connection your triceps are controlling the movement.
• At the bottom position, push yourself back up via the triceps and extending your forearms.

*Tips*

• This exercise will take practice. The initial starting position is contrary to proper lifting form with your back rounded.
