The 49-year-old bodybuilder emphasizes that this alternative method offers an outstanding stretch and specifically targets the triceps’ inner heads. “Number one tricep builder is the French press, now you see everyone do these with the standard bar most importantly a Cambered bar, I’m actually going to show this exercise using dumbbells.”

Cutler also claimed that one of the significant benefits of using dumbbells in this variation is the superior stretch it offers. With two dumbbells, a person can attain a deeper and more distinct tricep stretch. This expanded range of motion actively engages muscle fibers, leading to enhanced development and overall growth. He says, “really get that great stretch, this is the awesome way to build the inner head of the triceps.”
