Exercise Directory: Tricep Pulse: Palms Facing Back

This exercise works your arms while helping to tweak the tricep muscle that is located in the back of your upper arm.

STEP #1: Start by holding a dumbbell in each hand ... with you arms hanging beside your body.

STEP #2: Stand tall with your feet planted [either together or shoulder-width apart] so that your body is stationary and not rocking back and forth during the exercise.

STEP #3: Keep your head facing forward and your neck in alignment with your spine.

STEP #4: Twist the dumbbells so that your palms are facing behind you.

STEP #5: Push your palms back until you feel your triceps tightening.

STEP #6: Keeping that pressure on your triceps, execute a pulsating movement [baby pulse ... pulse ... pulse ...] ... focusing on working your triceps.

STEP #7: Repeat for 20-30 pulses ... or until your triceps are fatigued.
