Band Overhead Triceps Extension
The overhead extension against a looped band stood on behind you; the resistance is greatest at the top.
How to do it
Setup
Staggered stance, the band under the back foot, both hands holding it behind the head.
Steps
- Straighten the arms overhead against the band.
- Keep the elbows close to the head.
- Lower the hands behind the head under control.
Common mistakes
Band slipping from under the foot: set the whole foot on it. Arching the back to finish: ribs down, glutes tight. Elbows flaring: keep them narrow.
Breathing
Exhale on the extension, inhale on the stretch.
