Precautions and Tips for Elbows Out Dumbbell Extension
You must take care to avoid over-extending the lumbar spine.
Use your abs and glutes to hold your ribcage down as you lift the dumbbells.
If you want to increase the intensity of the dumbbells extension exercise, use an eccentric movement while lowering the weights.
Hold your head in a neutral position and do NOT let your neck jut forward. Otherwise, you’ll place too much strain on the cervical spine leading to injury.
