Plate Tricep Extension

Overview

Description

Let's get started by grabbing your weight plate and having it above your head.

This is the starting position.

From here lower the plate behind your head, by flexing at the elbows. When the arms are as low as they can go then extend the plate fully above your head or as far as you can. Once done, lower the plate back behind your head. This is one repetition, now repeat this for the desired amount.

You can change the intensity of this exercise by increasing or decreasing the weight of the weight plate.

• Versatility and Portability: Weight plates are versatile workout tools that can be used for a wide range of exercises, and they are relatively easy to transport, making them suitable for home workouts or on-the-go training.
