DUMBBELL OVERHEAD EXTENSION

Exercise Execution:

  • To get into position, lift the dumbbell to the top of your shoulder, take a deep breath, overlap your hands around the dumbbell, then press it into position overhead.
  • Maintain an overlapped grip and slowly lower the dumbbell behind your head by unlocking your elbows.
  • Once your forearms reach parallel or just below (at full stretch of the triceps), drive the dumbbell back to the starting point by extending the elbows and flexing the triceps.
