Lying triceps extension

[1] A study sponsored and done by the American Council on Exercise revealed that the extensions are around 70–90 percent effective compared to the triangle push up for the triceps.

In this variation, the exercise is performed while standing (or sitting on a device with a low backing—that allows the shoulders full range of movement).

In this variation, the exercise is done lying on an incline bench with an EZ-bar which is said to hit the muscle group at a different angle stressing in a new way.

[5] A triceps extension push-up can be performed as a bodyweight exercise only and is thus an ideal substitution when weight lifting equipment is not available.

To perform a triceps extension push-up, a person begins on the ground in a plank position with their body supported by their feet and forearms.
