How to: Band Overhead Triceps Extension
- Stand or sit with your feet shoulder-width apart.
- Hold the band with both arms extended overhead, gripping the ends of the band tightly.
- Lower the band behind your head by bending your elbows, keeping them close to your ears.
- Extend your arms back to the starting position, ensuring constant tension in the band throughout the movement.
Common Mistakes
- Arching the back during the extension.
- Using momentum rather than controlling the movement.
- Letting the elbows drop too far.
Modifications
- Use lighter resistance bands for beginners.
- Perform the exercise seated for added stability.
Tips
- Ensure your back is straight and core engaged during the extension.
- Do not let elbows flare out while extending; keep them close to your head.
