Smoothly bend the arm at the elbow to help isolate the tricep muscle, keeping your buttock close to the bench throughout the movement, aiming to take yourself down so that your arms are horizontal to the floor.
You may wish to pause for a second or two in the downward phase, in order to help focus on feeling the tricep muscle work as you smoothly return to a straight arm position, prior to repeating again.
Always make sure that your feet are placed away from the edge of the bench, because as you lower, your heels will come closer to the edge.
Stretch and Warm Up before you commence any exercise and aim to finish with some good stretching to let your body and mind recover.
