The Workout Room Overhead Tricep Extensions
Using a curl bar (ok, ok, Pat and I like to call it a wavy bar), get an inside grip and hold it over your head.
Lower it slowly behind your neck and extend up, never fully extending - that is, the elbow never locks.
If you dip deep in the back and raise up to parial but not full extension, the muscle is engaged the entire time.
No room for resting.
I like to do 3 sets of 25 reps. Pick a weight that isn't so heavy that you can do that -- but with time and practice, you'll be able to go up in weight!
Remember - lighter weight and better form is better than heavy weight and bad form.
