Ultimate Bicep and Tricep Workouts To Build Strong And Muscular Arms

#3 Overhead Triceps Extension

This isolation exercise is extremely effective in toning the triceps along with activating the muscles found in the shoulders, chest and the back region.

Instructions:

Step 1: Stand straight with feet positioned shoulder-width apart. Hold the dumbbell on the underside with both the arms and position it behind the head with the upper arms parallel to the body.

Step 2: Slowly raise the dumbbell until the entire arms are straight and parallel to the body. Do not sway your elbows while performing this motion.

Step 3: Hold the extension for a second and return to the initial position. Keep your torso straight throughout the duration of the exercise.

Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of repetitions.

Important tip: Perform the exercise while using a single arm for a more isolated workout experience. One could also perform this exercise while sitting on a flat bench for enhanced customisability.
