The first tricep exercise I’m going to demonstrate for you is called the arm extension. Before
you let yourself on this machine, you want to make sure that you adjust the seat pad,
so you my have to sit in it and play with it just a little bit. You need to adjust the
back pad and then you need to seat pad. Once you’ve done that, you need to step inside
the machine, adjust your weight, and take a seat. Your chest should be against the pad
and the back pad should be against your back. You’re going to grab a hold of the bars,
hold them up, extend the arms, and then press your triceps against the pad. Navel to spine
and you’re going to exhale as you press the machine straight down with a loose grip
on the handlebars, extending the elbows without locking them. Inhale as you come up and exhale
as you press. Good. Inhale and exhale press. Very good. Make sure you inhale through your
nose and exhale through your mouth. It’s very important not to let the weights touch
as you’re doing the exercises. You want to keep the tension resistance in your arms.
Inhale and exhale.
