The Lying Tricep Extension

See muscles involved

Primary Muscles Involved
Triceps

Other Muscles Involved
Abdominals (preventing hyperextension of the spine)

Execution
While lying on the bench, hold the barbell with arms vertical and hands about 9 inches (~23 cm) apart. Bend the elbows to lower the weight until it almost touches the forehead (Starting Position). Straighten elbows to raise the weight back to the vertical position (Finishing Position).

Tips and Safety
Lower the weight in a controlled manner to prevent hitting yourself in the head with it.
Keep abdominals tight to avoid hyperextension of the spine.
This exercise may also be done on an incline bench.
