Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Smith Machine Incline Tricep Extension.
A tricep extension performed on an incline bench under the Smith machine bar, targeting the long head of the triceps through an overhead stretch position. The incline angle increases the range of motion compared to a flat bench, enhancing the stretch on the long head for greater muscle development.
The Smith Machine Incline Tricep 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.
