EZ Bar Overhead Triceps Extension
Stand or sit and hold an EZ bar overhead with a narrow grip on the angled portions, arms fully extended above your head. Keeping your upper arms close to your ears, bend at the elbows to lower the bar behind your head until you feel a deep stretch in the triceps. Extend your elbows to drive the bar back overhead, squeezing the triceps at the top. The overhead position emphasizes the long head, and the EZ bar keeps the wrists comfortable.
