Can You Get Toned Arms With Seated Ez-Bar Triceps Extensions?

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

If you want toned arms you shouldn't have to endure a massive headache. And that's what all the flabby arm marketing spin-offs have given you: a headache.

I know how you feel because I used to be in the same position.

To make matters even more confusing, sometimes the science isn't clear and it has to be interpreted. And human interpretation is subject to error.

Having said that, not all hope is lost in your quest to get toned arms. Why? Because I've been sifting through the ambiguity for quite some time now. And I'm ready to share.

So here is a review of ezbar tricep extensions for going sleeveless in 7 days:

1. Overview: Because of the stress this exercise can put on the female elbow joint and because of the difficulty in getting a heavy bar overhead, I do NOT recommend this exercise. If you can overcome these two obstacles, however, you should consider doing it.

2. Technical snap-shot: Grab an ez-bar with a an overhand grip and sit on a bench with support for the lower back. Maintain your arms in a vertical position. Keep your abs extremely tight. Lower the bar until it gets close to the base of your neck. Then return the bar to the overhead position. Repeat.

3. Common errors: Allowing the back to bend excessively. Not keeping the elbows locked in place. Not contracting the abdominal muscles hard enough. Not going through the entire range of motion. And not experimenting with different grips for reduced wrist stress.

4. Bottom line: Because of the difficulty in getting a heavy ez-bar overhead and because of the stress on the elbow joint, I do not recommend this exercise for the majority of women. However, you could experiment with it and see how your body reacts.

If you want toned arms please do not put your body at risk. After all, a serious injury can set back your flabby arms mission by many steps. Even worse, a serious injury to your joints can permanently shut down your sexy arm quest. So stay safe and never give up!

  2. I comment when I especially enjoy a article on a site or if I have something to contribute to the discussion.

    It's caused by the fire communicated in the article I read. And on this post "Can You Get Toned Arms With Seated Ez-Bar Triceps Extensions?". I was actually moved enough to drop a thought :) I actually do have a couple of questions for you if you do not mind. Is it only me or do some of these remarks look like they are left by brain dead visitors? :-P And, if you are posting on other social sites, I would like to keep up with you. Would you list every one of your shared sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?

  7. Having a business online will need you less money in contrast to opening for restaurants or any type of business.

    This all sound wonderful, however, what we forget is that these people
    have been working at it for years. I've even talked to people who have been on a free cruise.
