Step-by-step
- Lie on your back holding dumbbells over your chest with palms facing forward
- Keep your elbows flared out to the sides
- Bend the elbows to lower the dumbbells toward the middle of your chest, ends pointing at each other
- Press back up with your triceps just before they touch your chest
- Extend the elbows at the top and squeeze for one second
Coaching tip
Elbows flared, dumbbells lowering to your chest; it looks odd but it's an elbow-friendly triceps builder.
