Instructions
1. Begin by sitting on the edge of a bench or a stable surface. Place your hands on the edge of the bench, fingers facing forward and spaced slightly narrower than shoulder-width apart.
2. Stretch your legs out in front of you with heels on the floor and legs straight or with a slight bend in the knees for a less advanced version.
3. Slide your buttocks off the bench, supporting your weight with your arms. This is your starting position.
4. Lower your body towards the floor by bending your elbows until they reach about a 90-degree angle. Ensure your back stays close to the bench.
5. Push through the palms of your hands, straightening your arms to raise your body back up to the starting position. This completes one rep.
6. Perform the exercise for the desired number of reps, maintaining control throughout the movement to keep tension on the triceps and avoid straining your shoulders.
7. Always keep your movements smooth and controlled, and make sure not to lock out your elbows at the top of the movement to keep constant tension on the triceps.
8. After completing the set, carefully sit back on the bench to rest before proceeding to the next set.
