Holding a pair of dumbbells with an overhand grip, stand tall with your chest up and core braced. Bend at the hips while keeping your back completely flat.
Once your upper body is parallel with the floor, bring your upper arms to your sides. Begin by pushing the dumbbells back and behind you.
Pause at the top of the movement and feel the contraction in your triceps. Slowly lower the dumbbells and begin again.

Triceps

Abs
Sit on a bench with back support.
Grip a dumbbell at one end using both hands. Your palms should be facing inward.
Hold the dumbbell overhead with your arms fully extended. This is the the start position.
Keep your upper arms close to your head (biceps roughly level with your temples) and near to 90degrees to the floor.
Moving only your forearms, lower the dumbbell in a smooth arc behind your head until your forearms and biceps touch. Hold for a count of one.
Return to the start position by using the triceps to extend your arm and raise the dumbbell. Exhale as you do this.
Repeat.
This exercise can be performed standing. However, it places an extra strain on your back so is not recommended for people with lower back problems. You can also perform this exercise using an EZ bar or straight bar with a close grip behind your head, palms facing forward.
Primary muscle group(s):
Triceps
Attach a resistance band to a door frame or other stable surface. Grab the handles of the band and walk backward until the slack tightens.
Bend slightly at the knees and forward at the hips. Maintain a flat back throughout.
Bring your upper arms up and tight to your side. From here, you will pull the band back using the forearms only. The contraction will be felt exclusively in the triceps.
Slowly return to the starting position and begin again.
