On the way down, the elbows bend, then the shoulders flex. On the way up, the shoulders extend, then the elbows straighten. We recommend doing these with a EZ or cambered curl bar if it’s available, though a normal barbell works as well. We generally add these to the end of a workout after the bench press, press, and upper back work has been completed on a 4-day split routine. We usually perform these in the 8-15 rep range, as they’re designed to target the triceps for hypertrophy, as well as for additional stress to strengthen their role in the bench press and press. Gym Shorts videos provide short video demonstrations of correct form for various exercises. Follow these steps: -Ensure your shoulders are even with the edge of the bench -Start with the bar locked out over your shoulders -Bend elbows first -Then flex shoulders -Aim for a BIG stretch on your triceps -Extend shoulders first -Extend elbows last -Bar ends at the bottom below your shoulders -Feet lie flat on the floor -Pass the bar close to your head -Throw the bar up -Stop when the upper arm is vertical SUBSCRIBE: https://bit.ly/2N20cLZ —————————————————————- This is Barbell Logic, where we believe that health and fitness should be approached with simplicity, logic and reason.
