Keep the movement slow, about 1.5 to 2 seconds in each direction. On the way down do not let the weight stack touch, but stop just before and then go into the next repetition. Do not lock your elbows on the way out. Pick a weight that challenges you but that you can keep perfect technique throughout. (less)

Grasp one end of a dumbbell with both hands (palms up) and raise it above your head, locking the elbows. With your elbows held in place and squared, slowly lower the dumbbell behind your head until you feel a stretch in your triceps. Press the weight back up, following a slight arc until the elbows lock and the weight is once again about your head. Exercise description by Bodybuilding.com (less)

Your back should be as straight as possible. Pick up a dumbbell in your right hand. Bend your arm and raise your elbow up to shoulder height. Make sure the elbow stays close to the side of your body. Let the dumbbell hang. Press the weight back until your forearm is parallel to the floor. Squeeze your tricep and then slowly return to the starting position. Finish one set, then switch sides and arms. Only your upper arm should move... NOT your elbow! Look straight ahead at all times. Exercise description by Bodybuilding.com (less)

It is very important that once you are set up in position with your back perpendicular to the floor your back does not move. Only your arms should move. From straight out in front of you bring your elbows back and keep them tight into your body. Once they are as far back as they will go slowly let the weight go forwards. Aim for a duration of 1.5 to 2 seconds in both directions. Swinging or arching your back to aid the movement is an indication that the weight is too heavy. We do not move the back whilst doing this exercise because it can damage the small muscles in the lower back. Exercise description by Hugo Saner. (less)

Grasp the dumbbell in one hand with your palm facing upward. Rest your elbow on the inside of your thigh and let the dumbbell hang. Rest your other hand on the top of your other thigh for support. Slowly curl the weight up while keeping the torso, upper arm and elbow still. As you lift, twist your wrist so that your little finger turns towards your body. Squeeze the muscle at the top and then slowly lower the weight. Exercise description by Bodybuilding.com (less)
