Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Bodyweight Kneeling Triceps Extension.
A bodyweight triceps exercise performed kneeling on the floor, where you lower your head toward the ground by bending at the elbows and push back up to full extension. It mimics a skull crusher motion using only body weight, making it an accessible way to train the triceps without equipment.
The Bodyweight Kneeling Triceps Extension is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
