3) As you contract the triceps, extend your arms downwards as you exhale. Tip: At the bottom of the movement, focus on keeping a little bend in your arms to keep tension on the triceps muscle.
4) Now slowly let your arms come back up to the starting position as you inhale.
5) Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
