How to do it
Start standing with a dumbbell in one hand. Tilt the torso forward from the hips until it is almost parallel to the ground, keeping your back straight. Hold the dumbbell with the palm looking towards your body and the elbow flexed at an angle of 90 degrees. This is your initial position.
Then, completely extend your arm until it is parallel to the ground, keeping your elbow in place. Be sure to contract the triceps at the end of the movement.
Finally, slowly return to the initial position, allowing the elbow to flex again. That would be a repetition. Remember, it is important to perform this exercise with a load that allows you to maintain the correct technique and control the movement at all times.
