How to do it
Execution:
  1. 1
    Stand and hold a straight bar overhead with a close grip, arms fully extended.
  2. 2
    Keep your elbows pointing up and close to your head, without flaring out.
  3. 3
    Bend your elbows to lower the bar behind your head until you feel a triceps stretch.
  4. 4
    Extend your arms back to the start, squeezing at the top.
Tip: a close grip increases triceps activation — keep the bar steady.
