- Lie down on a bench (can be incline or flat) with a dumbbell in each hand resting on top of your thighs. The palms of your hands will be facing each other.
- Then, using your thighs to help raise the dumbbells up, lift the dumbbells one at a time so that you can hold them in front of you at shoulder width.
- As you breathe in, come down slowly until the dumbbells are in on your middle chest. Tip: Make sure that - as opposed to a regular bench press - you keep the elbows close to the torso at all times in order to maximize triceps involvement. Be sure to maintain full control of the dumbbells at all times. This will be your starting position.
- Then, as you breathe out, use your chest to push the dumbbells up. Lock your arms at the top of the lift and squeeze your chest, hold for a second and then begin coming down slowly.

Narrow Chest Press

Seated Shoulder Press

Start with a dumbbell in each hand and your palms facing your torso. Keep your back straight with a slight bend in the knees and bend forward at the waist. Your torso should be almost parallel to the floor. Make sure to keep your head up. Your upper arms should be close to your torso and parallel to the floor. Your forearms should be pointed towards the floor as you hold the weights. There should be a 90-degree angle formed between your forearm and upper arm. This is your starting position.
Now, while keeping your upper arms stationary, exhale and use your triceps to lift the weights until the arm is fully extended. Focus on moving the forearm.
After a brief pause at the top contraction, inhale and slowly lower the dumbbells back down to the starting position.
Repeat the movement for the prescribed amount of repetitions.

Tricep Kickbacks

- Hold the attachment, palms facing down
- Raise until shoulder height pausing at the top 
- Lower with a slow controlled motion

Cable High Pull

- Start with your arms at about 90 degrees 
- Extend at your elbows bringing the rope down
- Spread rope apart at the bottom for a deeper contraction at the triceps 
- Bend the elbows and control weight back to starting position

Rope tricep extension

Superset

Facing a high pulley with a rope or dual handles attached, pull the weight directly towards your face, separating your hands as you do so. You can perform this exercise standing or seated, facing the cable.
