Lying Triceps Extensions To Tone Up Female Arms

by Katherine Crawford M.S.

I have decided to analyze as many arm exercises for women as I can. After all, maybe you are doing the wrong exercises to tone up your arms. Not good!

I have decided to do this so that you don’t have to spend all the time doing it yourself. After all, the more time you have for getting toned arms, the faster you’ll get them.

The main issue here is the sheer quantity of information. Some of which will set you back many steps. And how are you supposed to decipher which information is good and which is bad???

It can be nearly impossible for the average woman. But I have already done this for you. So without further ado, here is my analysis of lying triceps extensions to tone up the female arm:

1. Snap shot. Lots of people in gyms around the world do this exercise. And for good reason-it works. But there is one thing that most fitness buffs overlook: elbow strain.

2. Technique quick-start. Find a stable bench. Grasp an ez-bar and lie down. Keep your arms parallel to each other and perpendicular to the floor. While keeping your elbows locked in place slowly lower the bar to your forehead. Return it to the starting position.

3. High frequency errors. Not keeping the back straight which can cause serious issues over time. Not keeping the elbows frozen in place. And trying to push through the exercise after the triceps have completely fatigued. This is what can cause massive elbow strain.

4. Bottom line: This is a great exercise to tone the female arm. The main drawbacks are that you have to use very strict form and you really can’t go heavy if you’re lifting by yourself. I would recommend a little experimentation to see how your elbows feel when doing this exercise.

Please don’t waste your time doing flashy and gimmicky exercise that will not tone up your arms. There are so many useless exercises that women are doing day in and day out. And don’t forget that trial and error is essential. An exercise that works for your training partner may not work for you. We all have different anatomical structures. So be patient and keep at it!
