Master the cross body tricep extension, a powerful unilateral exercise that targets the medial head of your triceps with surgical precision. This bodybuilder-favorite movement requires just one dumbbell and offers an elbow-friendly alternative to traditional tricep exercises, making it perfect for addressing muscle imbalances while building serious upper arm strength and definition.
The rolling tricep extension is an explosive dumbbell exercise that develops bench press lockout strength through dead-stop training, making it a favorite accessory movement among powerlifters and strength athletes. Unlike traditional tricep exercises, this floor-based movement targets the long head of the tricep with explosive force production, directly translating to improved pressing power. Learn proper technique, programming guidelines, and why this exercise should be a cornerstone of your bench press training arsenal.
