Overhead Triceps Extension

• Keep your upper arms stationary and close to your head, with elbows in and perpendicular to the floor.
• Slowly lower the weight in a semicircular motion behind your head until your forearms touch your biceps. Ensure that only your forearms are moving and your upper arms are stationary.
• Pause for a moment and then use your triceps to return the dumbbell back to the starting position.
• Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of repetitions, ensuring to maintain good form throughout the exercise.

• **Avoid Using Too Much Weight**: A common mistake is using too much weight, which can lead to poor form and potential injury. Start with a lighter weight and gradually increase as your strength improves. It's better to perform the exercise correctly with a lighter weight than to struggle with a heavier one.
• **Controlled Movements**: Avoid fast, jerky movements. Lower the weight in a slow and controlled manner, then push it back up to the starting position. This will ensure you're effectively working the triceps
