Triceps Isotonic Supine

Professional Rationale
Well known prime mover exercise to strengthen the triceps.

Client Rationale
This is a strengthening exercise for your triceps muscle. This is a muscle that allows you to straighten the elbow. The triceps muscle is mostly a prime mover which means it lifts heavier weight - it is a mover not a thinker. Typically you will use a weight with this exercise.



Instructions

• Lie on your back with you elbow bent at 90 degrees.
• Keeping upper arm stable, straighten the elbow.
• Return in a slow and controlled manner.
• Do not hyperextend your elbow, or lock your elbow.
