How to Do Triceps Bodyweight Extension
- Grab the bar using an overhead grip, with your hands about shoulder-width apart.
- At the starting position, your arms should be fully extended, and your core and glutes activated as in a standing plank position.
- Bend the arms, bring your torso forward, and lower your head below the bar. Do the movement slow and controlled.
- Reverse the movement by straightening your arms.
- Repeat for reps.
Commentary
This is a good alternative for triceps training if you don’t have access to free weights. If you want to make the movement easier, set the bar higher. If you want to make it harder, set it lower.
