Lying Dumbbell Triceps Extension — triceps isolation exercise in the LIFTAG library

Lying Dumbbell Triceps Extension

Isolation · Weight × reps

Avoid flaring abruptly, dropping the weights toward your face, or using a load you cannot safely bring into position. Angling the upper arms slightly back maintains tension, while a floor setup limits where a missed dumbbell can travel if no spotter is available.
