How to do Dumbbell Tricep Extension -Pronated Grip
Lie down on a flat bench holding two dumbbells directly above your shoulders. Your arms should be fully extended and form a 90 degree angle from your torso and the floor.
The palms of your hands should be facing forward, and your elbows should be tucked in. This will be your starting position.
