Barbell Lying Triceps Extension

Muscles involved

If you want to transform the size and strength of your arms, adding the Barbell Lying Triceps Extension to your program is a huge win. Laying back and lowering the barbell with total control puts your muscles under deep tension, sending all the work straight to your triceps. The visible result you will notice over time is a much denser, better-defined set of arms and a major increase in pushing power that translates directly into stronger chest and shoulder presses during your gym days.

How to do it

1. Lie on your back on a flat bench, holding a bar with palms facing forward. 2. Lower the bar by bending your elbows until your forearms are perpendicular to the floor. 3. Push the bar upward by extending your lower arms. 4. Contract your triceps forcefully in the top position.
