Tricep Extension

The ZeroWheel Tricep Extension targets the triceps, while also engaging the shoulders, core, and back for stability. Use ZeroWheel against a wall to create consistent resistance, which makes this an excellent exercise for strengthening and isolating the triceps.

Exercise Notes

Rest

Start by standing facing the wall with your feet shoulder-width apart. Tuck your elbows in and bend your arms to hold ZeroWheel at chest-level, pressed against the wall. Focus on your triceps and keep your core engaged. Be sure not to lock your knees or arch your back.

Rollout

Press and roll ZeroWheel in a straight path downward, keeping your upper arms stationary and elbows tucked in. Drive the downward movement with your triceps while keeping your core braced. Do not flare your elbows outwards.

Goal

Push down until ZeroWheel is at hip-level. Engage your triceps by tensing the muscles. Do not remove tension between ZeroWheel and the wall—lean slightly forward if ZeroWheel begins to skid or come off the wall's surface.

Rollback

Press and roll ZeroWheel in a straight path upward, once again keeping your upper arms stationary and elbows tucked in. Stabilize the upward movement with your upper body and core. Do not disengage stabilizing muscles in your core.

Summary

The ZeroWheel Tricep Extension is ideal for those looking to build upper arm strength and stability. By focusing on the triceps, this exercise is particularly beneficial for athletes in sports that require strong pushing movements, such as volleyball, basketball, and football. The controlled motion with ZeroWheel ensures continuous tension for an effective workout.
