Starting Position:
Sit on
the stability ball with your knees bent and
feet flat on the floor. Grasp the dumbbell
with your hand(s). Your upper arms should be
bent to approximately 90 degrees. Keep your
abdominals tight—this will help prevent you
from arching your back.
Action:
Keeping your elbow(s) in place at all times,
lower the weight behind your head until you
feel a full stretch in your triceps. Pause
briefly at the bottom and then drive the
weight back up to the starting position. (Do
not lock out your elbow(s) at the top.)
*
If you feel any
discomfort in your elbows stop immediately.
