45-Degree Lying Tricep Extension

October 3, 2008

Angles play a very important role while carrying workouts. The body structure strength training is dependent on meticulously calculated workout regime with many precise angles. In the conventional lying triceps extension, an individual starts with arms extended and the bar directly over the torso. In this deviation, you will begin and end with the arms at a 45-degree angle. Following process can be followed.

Start
Begin with lying down with face up on a flat bench. The feet should be flat on the floor or on the bench. Hold a barbell, have a secure shoulder-width grip on it before the bar is completely released.
Hold the bar tightly with thumbs for safety when you hold it above you.

Keeping the arms straight and let the bar slowly pass over your face to the end of the bench. Stop when the arms attain a 45-degree angle position to the bench. This is the starting position.

Action
Retain your upper arms in the start position. Now curve your elbows and bring the bar down on top of your head. When the bar comes to the top of your head, stop and hold for some time before bringing the bar back to the top position. Clutch your triceps at the top and do repetitions.

Pointers
In case of standard version, you will try to bring the bar over your body at the beginning of each repetition. But you will soon understand and feel yourself that this version maintains an incessant tension on your triceps at the top. For maximum gain, you should retain your upper arms in the same angle position within each repetition. Minimize the weight till you feel fully comfortable and able to perform the exercise with ease.

This version changes the angle of the movement, retaining the elbows in. But it is very effective for enhancing the benefits of exercises.
