Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Dumbbell Incline Triceps Extension.
A triceps isolation exercise performed on an incline bench, lowering dumbbells behind the head to stretch and then extend the triceps. The incline angle increases the range of motion and places the long head of the triceps under greater stretch compared to a flat bench variation.
The Dumbbell Incline 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.
