Beginner's guide
§ 03 · GuideBuilds your triceps, improving pressing strength for the bench press and making everyday pushing and lifting more stable.
You should feel it in your triceps. It should not be felt mainly in your wrists, elbows, or shoulders.
A common mistake is letting the elbows flare and the upper arms move too much. Keep your elbows close and your upper arms as still as possible.
