Overview

The single-arm crossbody extension is an exercise targeting the triceps. It is performed by lying on your side on an exercise bench with your upper arm supported by the bench and your elbow flexed at 90 degrees. You then extend your arm across your body until it is straight, then slowly return to the starting position. This exercise can be performed with a dumbbell or a resistance band. It is a good way to isolate the triceps and build strength and definition in this muscle group.
