Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Dumbbell Standing Overhead Triceps Extension.
An overhead triceps extension performed standing with a single dumbbell held with both hands, effectively targeting the long head of the triceps through a full range of motion. The standing position adds a core stability component and allows a deep stretch at the bottom.
The Dumbbell Standing 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.
