- Make sure to use a shoulder-width grip and keep your body upright in order to shift as much stress onto the triceps as possible. If you use too wide a grip or lean forward excessively, more tension will be placed onto the front delts and pecs instead.
- Always lower yourself under control and stop once your arms are parallel to the floor. Going too deep can very easily over-stress the shoulder joints.
- You can hold a dumbbell in between your knees or use a weight belt to add more resistance if necessary.
