Bar Band Overhead Triceps Extension
The overhead extension with a bar and bands anchored under the feet; the bands pull hardest as the arms straighten.
How to do it
Setup
Standing on the bands, the bar held behind the head, elbows up by the ears.
Steps
- Extend the arms until the bar is straight overhead.
- Keep the elbows fixed beside the head.
- Lower the bar behind the head against the bands.
Common mistakes
Bands rubbing the neck: keep them running behind the shoulders. Letting the bands yank the bar down: lower it slowly. Elbows drifting forward: keep them by the ears.
Breathing
Exhale on the extension, inhale on the stretch.
