| Pushdown
 
Keep the elbows pinned to the sides.
One arm dumbbell extension
 
French press
 
Lying triceps extension (nosebusters)
 
Seated two-hand dumbbell extensions (not pictured)
Sit on a bench or stand and grasp the dumbbell with both hands, one placed over the other so that a triangle forms between the two forefingers and thumbs. That triangular space on the palm side is where the plate of the dumbbell rests through the exercise. The dumbbell stays with the flat side up, and the shank perpendicular to floor throughout the movement. The elbows bend to let the weight come down in a controlled manner from overhead, where it pauses behind the neck. The forearms and upper arms should form a 90-degree angle at this point, and her forearms are parallel to the floor. Then extend the weight over her head, taking care to keep upper arm movement as little as possible to avoid pulling in other muscle groups.

Overhead rope extension
 
Kickbacks
 
The upper arm should remain stationary, close to the body, and parallel to the floor throughout the movement --- only the forearm, elbow and down, move. You can do kickbacks while you are standing over a bench, or supporting the body with one leg on a bench and the other hanging off the opposite side, touching the floor for stability.
Forward rope extension
 
Bench dips
 
Reverse grip extension
 
Machine assisted dips
 
Keep your body vertical to target the triceps rather than leaning forward for the chest. For greater resistance, remove the support or even hold weight around your waist with a chain belt, dumbbell between the legs, or a weighted vest.
