Big arms. All of us want them even if looking like a bodybuilder isn't our goal. The triceps are important to getting that look and here is one of the best dumbbell triceps exercises I have ever tried.
I lay on my back on the floor to do this exercise. Take 1 dumbbell in your right hand and extend your right arm towards the ceiling, palm facing in. Now slowly bend your elbow and bring the weight towards the left side of your face. Rotate your palm as you lower the weight so that your palm faces forward on completion. I like to bring the weight beside my face, as close to the ground as possible. Be sure to bend at the elbow only; the bottom part of your arm stays facing the ceiling.
Slowly bring the arm back to starting position. Repeat. Do 10 reps with the one arm and then repeat with the other. Squeeze out the reps. You can use your free hand and help a little by putting it under the working arms wrist to get those extra reps in.
3 sets of 10. Start with a light weight. Technique and slow movement are important.
Do this right and watch those triceps grow!
