Exercises of the Week #16 - Free Weights and Yoga Ball Exercise Combo

Here is another corrective exercise for the holidays. Triceps, Triceps, Triceps. Enjoy.

Tricep Extensions on bench (gym name "skull crushers") from Live Functional on Vimeo.

pretty simple move, here's how to make it real juicy!

+ Keep elbows held at a slight angle over your head and don't let them move, the pivot of the weight must be still!

+ You will feel the abs engage/stabilize as you extend and flex the elbow over your skull, weights will be at the side of the head, be careful so that the weight does not land on your head, go slow until you feel the flight path of the weight, then take off!

+Inhale as the weight lands over head, and exhale with pressure as you press weight to beginning position.

2-3 sets of 10-20 reps (10 lbs to start and then find the weight that pushes fatigue)

  1. This is great stuff. I'll keep checking in. I didn't know a yoga ball could do that.
