How to: Band side triceps extension
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold the resistance band in one hand.
- Raise your arm so that your elbow is bent at a 90-degree angle, with your hand behind your head.
- Slowly extend your arm upward, straightening it while keeping your elbow stationary.
- Pause at the top, then lower your arm back to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired repetitions before switching arms.
Common Mistakes
- Allowing the elbow to drift away from the head.
- Using momentum instead of controlled movements.
- Not fully extending the arm at the top of the movement.
Modifications
- Use a lighter band for reduced resistance.
- Perform the exercise seated for added stability.
Tips
- Engage your core to maintain stability during the exercise.
- Keep your elbow close to your head to isolate the triceps effectively.
- Control the movement to avoid straining the shoulder.
