Purpose of Exercise: To develop your triceps. This is a fundamental tricep exercise.
Execution of Exercise: Take a narrow over hand grip on an ez curl bar. Lie down on a flat bench, with your feet firmly on the floor. Start with your arms fully extended in line with your shoulders, keeping your upperarms motionless, slowly bend your elbows and allow the bar to travel down towards your nose/forehead in a motion that resembles a reverse arm curl. Once the bar makes 'light' contact with your nose/forehead use the strength of your triceps to return the bar to the starting position. Make sure to hold for a second and squeeze your triceps hard in the finish position.
Important Points: Do not move the bar up and down in a jerky or uncontrolled manner. Always use the assistance of a spotter on this exercise and ENSURE that their hands are under (and close to) the bar at all times to avoid painful and dangerous accidents. This exercise can be done with a straight bar and at an advanced level with dumbbells if you desire. Always be strict on this exercise and make sure your upper arms do not move at all.
