#5 Dumbbell Triceps Bench Press
Dumbbell triceps bench press is an advanced variation of the standard bench press that targets the triceps with increased precision. Additionally, the exercise tones the deltoid muscles in the shoulders, pectoral muscles in the chest and the forearms.
Instructions:
Step 1: Lie on a flat bench in a supine position and hold dumbbells in both the hands such that the palms are facing each other. The upper arms should be parallel to the body while the lower arms should make a 90-degree angle with the upper arms.
Step 2: Gradually raise the dumbbells such that the arms are fully extended and perpendicular to the body.
Step 3: Pause for a second and return to the initial position.
Perform the exercise for the recommended number of times.
Important tip: Carefully lower the weight as an improper form could lead to a rotator cuff injury.
