HOW TO: DUMBBELL INCLINE TWO ARM EXTENSION

Starting Position:

  1. Bench Setup: Adjust an incline bench to an angle between 45 and 75 degrees.

  2. Grabbing Dumbbells: Sit on the bench with your back firmly against it. Grab two dumbbells and hold them overhead with your arms fully extended and your palms facing each other.

Form:

  1. Inhale and Lower: Inhale as you slowly bend your elbows to lower the dumbbells down next to your head. Keep your upper arms stationary and only move your forearms.

  2. Hold and Extend: Pause for a brief second at the bottom of the movement. Exhale as you extend your elbows and straighten your arms to lift the dumbbells back to the starting position.

Personal Trainer Tips:

  • Stability: Ensure that your shoulders remain stationary throughout the entire movement. Only your elbows should be moving.

  • Control: Perform the exercise in a slow and controlled manner to prevent momentum from taking over.

  • Light Weight: Start with a light weight to maintain control and avoid fatigue that could lead to losing control of the dumbbells.

  • Elbow Alignment: Keep your elbows pointing forward and close to your head to maximize triceps engagement.

DUMBBELL INCLINE TWO ARM EXTENSION – BENEFITS

  1. Triceps Strengthening: This exercise effectively targets the triceps muscles, particularly focusing on the long head, which is crucial for overall arm strength and development.

  2. Muscle Stretch: Due to the incline position, the long head of the triceps is stretched more, leading to enhanced muscle activation and growth.

  3. Varied Angles: Using an incline bench allows you to work the triceps from different angles, which can lead to more balanced muscle development.

  4. Isolation: This exercise isolates the triceps, ensuring that they are the primary muscles being worked, which is beneficial for muscle growth and endurance.

  5. Joint Health: Performing the exercise with proper form can improve elbow joint stability and health by strengthening the muscles surrounding the joint.

  6. Versatility: Dumbbells allow for a more natural range of motion and can help correct muscle imbalances between the left and right arms.
