Muscles Targeted:

• This exercise works the triceps and is a great way to put emphasis on the medial head which is an important part of many pushing or pressing exercises.

Form:

• Start with the palms facing in and keep the wrists locked as you extend the bar down towards your hips.

• Keep your elbows at your sides where it feels natural, it’s not necessary to tuck them in tight but it’s important to prevent them from flaring out.

Rep Ranges:

• The limiting factor for this exercise will most likely be the wrists so it’s important to go only as heavy as our form allows.

• For this reason I wouldn’t recommend doing fewer than 8 repetitions.
