Overhead Tricep Extension (Kettlebell)

An isolation exercise where a kettlebell is held overhead and lowered behind the head, effectively isolating the triceps and improving arm strength and definition.

Instructions

1. Stand upright holding a kettlebell overhead with both hands, gripping the ball portion.
2. Keep your elbows stationary and positioned slightly in front of your head.
3. Lower the kettlebell by bending your elbows, moving it behind your head in a controlled manner.
4. Descend until you feel a stretch in your triceps and your elbows approach 90 degrees.
5. Extend through your elbows to return the kettlebell to the starting overhead position.
6. Repeat for prescribed reps while maintaining stationary elbows throughout.

Tips

• Keep your elbows stationary and pointing forward throughout the entire movement.
• Control both the lowering and raising phases for maximum triceps engagement.
• Move slowly and deliberately rather than using momentum to move heavier weight.
• Maintain an upright posture and brace your core to protect your lower back.
• This isolation movement effectively builds triceps size and strength.
