Bodyweight Tricep Extensions (Pass Throughs)

Perform these with a smith machine preferably, or with a barbell on J-hooks in a power rack. The smith machine is more stable and will avoid rolling of the bar. Position yourself in an incline pushup position with your forehead and hands in line with the bar about shoulder width apart. Lower yourself by bending your elbows, keeping your core tight, until the triceps are stretched out maximally with the head usually below the bar. Maintain tension, keep your elbows in, and straighten your arms by flexing your triceps to return back to the starting position. If this is too difficult for you adjust the difficulty by bringing the bar higher to make it easier or by lowering the bar to increase the difficulty.
