Decline Triceps Extension

This is the kind of move a bear might do after a long climb - reaching back with control, then pressing with strength. With the decline angle and a steady grip, you're dialing in on the triceps with just the right amount of challenge. No flashy moves, just focused bear-powered extension.

Instructions

1. Lie on a decline bench with your head lower than your feet.
2. Hold a dumbbell in each hand with your palms facing each other.
3. Extend your arms straight up toward the ceiling.
4. Bend your elbows to lower the dumbbells towards your shoulders.
5. Once your forearms are parallel to the floor, extend your arms back to the starting position.
