The Dumbbell Tricep Extension, also known as the Dumbbell Tricep Press or Dumbbell Skull Crusher, is a popular isolation exercise that targets the triceps muscles. It's an effective way to strengthen and tone the back of the upper arms, helping to improve arm definition and overall upper body strength.
Let's get started by grabbing both your dumbbells and bringing them right above your head with a slight bent in your arms and your palms facing inwards.
This is the starting position.
From here bend one of your arms at the elbow, lowering the hand behind the head.
Once here, return the dumbbell back up above your head and then repeat the movement on the other hand. Once you have done both hands this is one repetition, now repeat this for the desired amount.
If you find yourself tipping backwards as you raise your arms up, put the back of your chair against a wall to help prevent this.
If you have limited gripping ability try using the Active Hands Gripping Aids to make this exercise as safe as possible.
