This exercise helps increase strength and muscle growth across all three major areas of the triceps muscle. Using a Swiss ball actively engages the core muscles simultaneously.
Instructions
Sit upright on a Swiss ball with feet planted firmly on the ground. Grab an EZ-Bar with a double-overhand close grip. Lean back into the ball and position bar overhead with arms fully extended.
Keeping the core tight, bend the elbows and lower the EZ-Bar behind your head. Pause at the bottom of the motion and return to the start position by contracting the triceps and straightening the arms.
Trainer’s Tips
Be sure to keep core stable throughout movement.
Do not let your elbows flare outward. Keep upper arms stationary.
