- 2 Hold an EZ-bar with an overhand grip, hands slightly narrower than shoulder-width apart, and extend it straight up over your chest.
- 3 Carefully move the bar overhead so your arms are fully extended and perpendicular to the floor, with the bar directly above your head.
- 4 Keeping your upper arms stationary and elbows pointing forward, slowly bend your elbows to lower the EZ-bar behind your head.
- 5 Continue lowering until your forearms are parallel to the floor or you feel a deep stretch in your triceps.
- 6 Engage your triceps to extend your elbows, pushing the EZ-bar back up to the starting position directly above your head.
