Warning: Do Not Do Overhead Triceps Extensions To Get Toned Arms!

It seems that getting toned arms has become more of an art than a science. Why? Because many women have fallen prey to the art of marketing spin instead of listening to the science of exercise principles.

I understand your frustration because I used to be in the same predicament.

And to make matters even more headachy, exercise research is usually open to interpretation. Unfortunately, whenever you have to interpret something there is room for error, massive error.

But the good news is that I’ve already done all the arm toning homework for you! Why have I done this? Because I don’t think it’s fair for every women wishing to get lean and sexy arms to have to sift through insane amounts of information.

So here is a review of ezbar tricep extensions for going sleeveless in 7 days:

1. Overview: Because of the stress this exercise can put on the female elbow joint and because of the difficulty in getting a heavy bar overhead, I do NOT recommend this exercise. If you can overcome these two obstacles, however, you should consider doing it.

2. How to do it: Find a bench with lower back support. Grab an ez-bar with an overhand grip. Sit on the bench while keeping your arms in a vertical position. Dig into the ground with your heels and keep your abs very tight. Slowly lower the bar to the bottom of your neck. Then raise it.

3. Most common errors: Letting the elbows bow in and out. Allowing the back to bend out of alignment. Not keeping the abs extremely tight. And ignoring wrist pain.

4. Bottom line: Because of the difficulty in getting a heavy ez-bar overhead and because of the stress on the elbow joint, I do not recommend this exercise for the majority of women. However, you could experiment with it and see how your body reacts.

Choosing which exercises to include in your arm toning program is critical for long term health. After all, what’s the point of getting lean and toned arms if you end up with worn out joints, or even worse, a permanent injury? So stay healthy during your sexy arm journey!
