Dumbbell Incline Triceps Extension

Set an incline bench to about 30–45 degrees and sit back with dumbbells in both hands. Extend your arms overhead so the dumbbells are above your chest, keeping a neutral grip (palms facing each other). Keep your upper arms fixed and close to your head. Slowly bend your elbows to lower the dumbbells behind your head in a controlled arc. Pause briefly at the bottom, feeling a stretch in the triceps. Extend your elbows to bring the dumbbells back to the starting position, maintaining control throughout.
