Hi. I'm Grace Lazenby and welcome to Sexy Shoulders. Today, we're going to do triceps isolations. We're going to use really light weight, no more than two or three. Okay, so you're going to take your light weight. You can come on to your knee, keep your abs nice and tight and really stabilize your upper body. Then, let your weight kind a hang in your hand and these are going to be really small, small movements. You just going to bring the weight back just about 2 inches and then press it out, and in, and out. So, again, these are isolations, so really all I'm working is at the very, very tip of your triceps, two more. Good. Here we go at tempo, one, two, in. Now, what I want you to concentrate is the lengthening of the muscle. Your shoulder blade is down so the top of your triceps is completely contracted isometrically, and then you're working that tiny, tiny bottom of your triceps. Good. Eight more everybody. Remember, keep your abs in and your chest is up and in. Let that weight kinda hang down. Again, no more than 2 or 3 pounds on these. Good. How about two more? Two. Good. Now, you're going to hold it here isometrically. Let that weight kinda hang and then you're just going to lift up and lower, and up, and lower, and should feel a burning by now. Four more, excellent. Three, beautiful. Two, hold and relax. Good. Let's take it to the other side, so just switch sides. Again, let the weight hang down, shoulders back. Here we go, and in, push back, and in. So again, this is a great addition to any other triceps exercise. I'm just isolating that very small part of your triceps. You actually have three parts to your triceps. Good. Four more, four, and three. Good. Two. Excellent. Hold it up and lift, and lift, and lift. Good. Your hands are really relaxed, so that actually the muscles really taking over. Four more. Four, and three, and two, and one, and relax. Excellent. Let it go. Come on up. Good. You can take your right arm behind you. Take a nice stretch. And remember, you don't want to work the same body parts two days in a row. Again, you may want to switch off, work triceps and biceps to one day and chest and lats the other. And that's your sexy shoulder move of the day. I'm Grace Lazenby. See you soon.
