Standing Tricep Press
This variation uses individual handles to give each arm a full range of motion and better isolation. By pressing downward while standing tall, you’re not only hitting the triceps hard—you’re also training shoulder stability and posture. It’s a simple but effective way to build stronger arms that support your swing without compensating through the neck or traps.
