Triceps Extension / French Curl

Dumbbell Triceps ExtensionThe triceps extension can be done while standing, sitting or laying down on a flat bench. A weight is held above the head (keeping the upper arms motionless), then lowered behind the head, and then raised to the starting position.

This is an isolation exercise for the triceps.

It can be performed either with both arms or one arm at a time. This is also known as the French curl.

These can also be done with cable machines. Another variation to target the triceps with a dumbbell is the triceps kickback.
