Lying Extension

What it does?

An exercise that targets the tricep muscles. If you want to tone and develop this area you will really feel this working

What you need?

A bench and barbell

How do you do it?

- Start by lying flat on the bench holding a barbell with hands about shoulder width apart
- Hold it straight up above you in line with your shoulders
- Keeping your upper arms straight, bend the elbows lowering the bar down over your head
- At the bottom, contract your triceps to extend the bar back up to the start position
