Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Dumbbell Seated Overhead Triceps Extension.
A seated overhead triceps extension performed on a bench, using a single dumbbell held with both hands. The movement isolates the triceps through a full overhead stretch and contraction, making it effective for building upper arm mass.
The Dumbbell Seated Overhead 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.
