- Lower the dumbbells by bending your elbows outward and bringing the ends toward your chest.
- Touch the dumbbell ends to your chest lightly, keeping your upper arms stationary.
Advanced movement — prioritize form over weight.
Form cues
- Lie on a flat bench with dumbbells at lockout, hands in a neutral grip.
- Lower the dumbbells by bending the elbows and letting them track slightly back toward your face.
- Stop when the dumbbells reach chin-to-throat level — elbows should point forward, not out.
Finish strong — take the last set close to failure.
Form cues
- Hold a dumbbell in one hand and press it overhead to full lockout.
- Lower the dumbbell behind your head by bending at the elbow, keeping the upper arm vertical.
- Descend until you feel a deep stretch — your forearm should nearly touch your bicep.
Why This Workout Works
This workout is built around the principles of fat loss training. Maintain heavy compound lifts to preserve muscle mass while in a caloric deficit. Add supersets and circuits for accessory work to increase training density. Keep protein high (1g per pound of bodyweight) and prioritize sleep for recovery.
Training Parameters
- Rep Range: 10-15 reps — high enough to keep your heart rate elevated
- Rest Periods: 30-60 seconds — short rest to maximize calorie burn
- Sets Per Exercise: 3-4 sets — optimized for fat loss
Triceps Training Tips
- *Overhead extensions stretch the long head, which is the largest tricep head — do not skip them.
- *Lock out every rep fully to engage the medial head.
- *Dips and close-grip bench press allow heavier loading than isolation work.
