How to do Front Raise Into Triple Tricep Extension
Start with your feet hip-width apart, holding the dumbbells together in front of you with arms hanging and palms facing each other. As you initiate the movement, maintain a slight bend in your elbows. Begin by lifting the dumbbells directly in front of you, continuing the movement until they are overhead. Once you've transitioned to the overhead position, proceed into the triple tricep press. Execute three consecutive tricep presses, ensuring that the dumbbells remain touching throughout the movement. After the third tricep press, carefully lower the dumbbells back to the starting position, ensuring controlled movement. Resume the process for the desired number of repetitions.
Common mistakes
Avoid using momentum or swinging the dumbbells during the front raise; the motion should be deliberate and controlled. When transitioning to the tricep presses, ensure that the elbows don't flare out and remain close to the head. Also, be cautious of overextending or locking the elbows at the top of the tricep press.
Breathing
Inhale while lifting the dumbbells during the front raise and transition overhead. Exhale during each tricep press. Inhale once again as you lower the dumbbells in preparation for the next repetition.
