Step by step
- Stand with a dumbbell in one hand and a slight bend in your knees.
- Hinge forward at the hips until your torso is at about 45 degrees and your back is flat.
- Pin your working upper arm against your side with the elbow bent at 90 degrees.
- Extend the elbow to swing the dumbbell straight back behind you until the arm is fully locked out.
- Squeeze the triceps hard at the top with the dumbbell behind you and the upper arm still pinned.
- Lower the dumbbell back down to the bent-elbow start, then repeat for reps before switching arms.
