Your upper arms should create around a 25 degree angle when measured from the floor.
3) Keeping the upper arms stationary, extend the arms as you flex the triceps. Breathe out during this portion of the movement and hold the contraction for a second.
4) Slowly go back to the starting position.
5) Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

You can also use an angled attachment or a rope attachment as well. Finally, you can perform one arm at a time by using a single handle attachment.
