Form tips
Slide your buttocks off the bench and lower your body by bending your elbows until your upper arms are about parallel to the floor. Then, push yourself back up using your arms and not your legs. Avoid using your legs to help lift your body as this can reduce the effectiveness of the exercise on your triceps.
Make sure your movements are slow and controlled, both when lowering and lifting your body. Avoid bouncing or using momentum to lift yourself up as this can lead to injury and will not effectively work your muscles.
If you're adding weight to this exercise, it should be placed on your lap. Make sure it's secure and won
