How To Perform Hammer Triceps Extensions
You'll need access to a triceps machine for this exercise. Select a weight level that will provide moderate resistance to challenge you for the workout. Sit down at the machine. Place your arms on the pads. Now grasp the handle bars in each hand. Next push the bars downward while squeezing out your triceps. Now return the handlebars to the starting position. That's one rep. I suggest performing five sets of this exercise with eight to ten repetitions per set. As you become stronger, increase the weights by five pound increments.
