Tricep Pushdown

The Tricep Press is all about building strength in the back of your arms. Whether you're doing it with bodyweight - like close-grip push-ups - or using dumbbells for overhead or lying presses, the goal is the same: extend those arms and feel the burn. It's a simple, effective way to build power and shape in your triceps - so you can push, lift, and flex like a true forest strongbear!

Instructions

1. Stand facing a stable surface at about waist height, like a bench or a low bar.
2. Place your hands shoulder-width apart on the surface.
3. Walk your feet back until your body is at a 45-degree angle to the ground.
4. Lower your chest towards the surface by bending your elbows while keeping them close to your body.
5. Push your body back up to the starting position by straightening your arms.
