How to Perform Tricep Extension

Stand upright holding a single dumbbell with both hands, gripping the top plate or handle. Raise the dumbbell overhead with your arms fully extended. Keeping your elbows close to your head, slowly lower the dumbbell behind your head by bending your elbows. Once your forearms reach a comfortable stretch position, extend your arms to raise the dumbbell back overhead by contracting your triceps. Perform the movement in a controlled manner while keeping your upper arms relatively stationary.
