Preparation
Tricep Barbell Press works the triceps muscles. Lie on a flat bench. Hold the bar using a close grip at around shoulder width. Lift the bar and hold it straight over your chest. Keep your hands straight until they lock at the elbows.
Method
Step 1
Inhale and bring the bar down slowly until you feel the bar on your middle chest
Step 2
Make sure that - as opposed to a regular bench press - you keep the elbows close to the torso at all times in order to maximize triceps involvement
Step 3
After a pause, exhale and push the bar back to the starting position
Step 4
Use your tricep muscles for this movement
Step 5
Extend your arms completely
Step 6
Repeat for the desired number of reps.
