Starting Position: Grasp a dumbbell in each hand, bend forward at the waist until the upper body is parallel with the floor.

Performing The Exercise:
Grasp a dumbbell in each hand, bend forward at the waist until the upper body is parallel with the floor. Bring the upper arm alongside and parallel with the upper body, so the forearm is perpendicular with the body. Slowly extend the arms back and up until they are straight, squeezing the contraction for a 2 count and then lower the weight back to the starting position and repeat.

Tips: These can also be done one arm at a time by placing one knee and hand on a bench for support and then completing the exercise with the opposite arm. Extend the weight slowly to work the triceps completely, don’t swing the weight.
