A subtle coaching cue transforms the overhead tricep extension from a standard press to a movement that better targets the long head. By dropping the scapulae, bringing the head forward out of the path of the bar, and pressing up and back rather than straight up, lifters can achieve a deeper stretch on the triceps. This small repositioning makes the exercise feel almost like an overhead press while keeping tension on the target muscle.
