How to do it
This exercise strengthens the back of your upper arms (the triceps).
- Stand or sit tall holding one dumbbell with both hands, arms straight above your head.
- Keeping your upper arms close to your ears, bend your elbows to lower the dumbbell behind your head.
- Straighten your arms to lift it back up.
Tips and safety
- Brace your stomach so your lower back doesn't arch.
- Use a light weight and move slowly; the dumbbell passes close to your head.
Move within a comfortable range and stop if you feel pain. If you have an injury or health condition, check with a qualified professional first.
