list_alt Step-by-Step Instructions
Sit on an exercise ball with your feet flat on the ground and your back straight.
Hold a dumbbell in one hand with your palm facing up and your elbow bent at a 90-degree angle.
Extend your arm straight up towards the ceiling, keeping your elbow stationary.
Slowly lower the dumbbell back down to the starting position.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, then switch arms.
warning Common Mistakes
Recruiting larger muscle groups to "help" move the weight instead of isolating Triceps — swinging momentum or shifting the torso takes tension off the muscle this exercise is meant to train.
Locking out too fast or letting the elbows drift outward under load — controlling the eccentric (lowering) phase is where most of the muscle-building stimulus happens.
Letting the two arms/sides move independently with different ranges of motion or tempo, which hides side-to-side strength imbalances instead of fixing them.
Progressing the load or reps too quickly before technique is consistent across every rep of every set.
