EXERCISE INSTRUCTION
- Take the dumbbells with a neutral grip (palms facing inward) in your hands and stand up straight.
- Feet shoulder-width apart. Tilt the body forward so that it is parallel to the floor. The back should be straight, knees slightly bent.
- Keeping your arms as close to your body as possible, bend them so that there is a right angle between the bicep and forearm. This is the starting position.
- Slowly bring your arms back until you are fully extended.The movement takes place only in the elbows.
- Pause and return the dumbbells to their original position.
NOTE: Concentrate the tension in the triceps muscles. The body must remain stationary.
Make movements in a controlled manner and at a slow pace, avoiding jerks.
Looking forward while doing the exercise will help keep your back straight.
