1 / 2How to
Movement instructions
Lie flat on a bench while holding a dumbbell at arms length. Your arm should be perpendicular to your body. The palm of your hand should be facing towards your feet as a pronated grip is required to perform this exercise.
Place your non lifting hand on your bicep for support.
Slowly begin to lower the dumbbell down as you breathe in.
Then, begin lifting the dumbbell upward as you contract the triceps. Remember to breathe out during the concentric (lifting part of the exercise).
Repeat until you have performed your set repetitions.
Switch arms and repeat the movement.

Your progress
Keep the same dumbbell setup, range of motion and recording method when comparing One Arm Pronated Dumbbell Triceps Extension sessions.
Weight, repetitions and completed sets.
Example: 3 sets of 8 reps at 30 kg. Next time, record the actual result, even if it is the same.
Look for more repetitions at the same weight, or a heavier weight for comparable repetitions. Total weight lifted also changes when you add sets, so it is not a strength score.
