The Tricep Dumbbell Extension For Getting Rid Of Arm Fat

by Katherine Crawford M.S.

There are so many different arm exercises for women out there. How do you decide which ones to do

And which experts are you going to trust? Because it seems as though every expert out there has different advice.

And knowing who to listen to is crucial for sexy arm success. After all, if you get the wrong advice and don't get results, you're more likely to quit.

The good news is that I have already done all the arm exercise homework for you. So without further ado, here is my review of lying triceps dumbbell extensions:

1. Overview. This is an excellent exercise for working the triceps. And unlike other movements, it doesn't place that much stress on the elbow joint since your hands aren't locked on a fixed bar.

2. How to do it. Grab a dumbbell with each hand and lie down on a bench. Make sure you arms stay straight up and are parallel to each other. Tighten up your abs and lower back. Lower both dumbbells to the shoulder area. Return to the starting position.

3. Mistakes: Continually pushing through the movement even though the triceps have fatigued. Letting the back arch too much. And allowing the elbows to shift around.

4. Bottom line. As long as you use perfect form when doing this exercise, you are good to go. This movement should be included in every serious arm toning program for women.

Don't get caught up with all the information out there on which arm exercises are best. A lot of said information is laced with hidden interests. Stick to the facts and ignore the marketing hype. After all, research, science and experience have all contributed to our knowledge of what's effective in the real world. Follow my advice and you'll be well on your way to sexy arm success!
