Description:
  1. Whilst keeping your elbows close to your stomach and shoulders pinned back, grip the bar with a pronated grip (palms facing downwards) shoulder width apart. Your feet should be positioned relatively close whilst your knees are allowed a slight bend also.
  2. Leaning slightly forwards, exhale your breath and push the bar down using only your triceps until the bar hits your hip/upper thigh region. At this point, the arms should be fully extended and there should be considerable stress or tension placed on the triceps muscle.
  3. Throughout the movement, your shoulders and arms should be still and the forearms should be the only muscle group moving.
Common Error(s): Inappropriate momentum | Not engaging core | Forward Head Posture
Spotting: Band/Tubing Anchoring
