Overhead EZ-Bar Tricep Extension: how to do it and form tips

A standing or seated overhead tricep extension using the EZ-bar that targets the long head through a full overhead stretch while the angled grip reduces wrist strain versus a straight bar.

Form tips

1. Keep your elbows pointing straight ahead — flaring them out shifts load to the shoulders.
2. Lower the bar slowly behind your head until you feel a full tricep stretch before pressing back up.
3. Brace your core firmly; an arched lower back is the most common error on this movement.
