Single Arm Cross Body Tricep Extension Video Guide

Single Arm Cross Body Tricep Extension Instructions:

Starting Position:

1.Arm Position:

   - Position your arm forward with your forearm bent at a 90-degree angle. Your upper arm should be parallel to the ground, with your elbow pointing straight ahead.

2.Body Position:

   - Keep your body in a neutral position—stand tall with your core engaged and your back straight. Ensure your shoulders are relaxed and not hunched.

Execution:

1.Extend the Arm:

   - While keeping your elbow stationary, extend your forearm across your body, straightening your arm fully. Focus on engaging the triceps during the extension.

2.Maintain Stability:

   - Ensure that your upper arm remains stable and close to your body throughout the movement. Avoid any shoulder or torso movement; the motion should be isolated in the triceps.

3.Breathing:

   - Exhale as you extend your arm across your body, and inhale as you return to the starting position.

Additional Tips:

-Controlled Movements: Perform the exercise slowly and deliberately to maximize triceps engagement and avoid using momentum.

-Posture Maintenance: Throughout the exercise, keep your body in a neutral, upright position to maintain proper form and reduce the risk of injury.

-Repetitions and Sets: Aim for 3-4 sets of 8-12 repetitions per arm, adjusting the resistance as needed to maintain proper form.

This exercise is designed to target the triceps, particularly the long head, while emphasizing proper form and isolation. Maintaining stability and control throughout the movement is key to effectively engaging the triceps and avoiding unnecessary strain on other muscle groups.
