Fat Bar Extensions with Kettlebell

Category: Accessory

Muscles Targeted:Triceps

Now this is a new one and pretty strange. Everyone that has done this reports a huge amount of triceps activation.

So how is this done? First, you take a fat bar and place two KB's on either end. Just slip them over the sleeve of the barbell like you would a weight plate. Use some kind of clamp to hold them into place.

Have someone hand you the bar and perform an extension like you normally would. The KB offer a very differnt feel as they tend to move around quite a bit. Make sure you are very stable and tight when doing this.

The fat bar is a great addition to any extension movement. This is because it takes a lot of stress off of the forearms and elbows.

This is a great variation on extensions.
