Common Mistakes Tricep Extensions

As with all tricep isolation exercises, avoid fully extending your elbows. This puts a strain on the joints and does not bring any significant added value in terms of muscle stimulus. Maintain a slight bend in the elbow at the end of the extension movement.

Also make sure that the stretching movement is done exclusively from the elbow. The shoulder should not move during the exercise.
