Bar Band Standing Triceps Extension
The Bar Band overhead extension done in a split stance with the band under the back foot, the short bar held behind the head.
How to do it
Setup
Split stance, the band under the back foot, the short bar held behind the head, elbows up by the ears.
Steps
- Extend the bar up until the arms are straight overhead.
- Keep the elbows narrow and the torso still.
- Lower the bar back behind the head against the band.
Common mistakes
Band slipping from under the back foot: pin it under the whole foot before the set. Elbows drifting forward and apart: keep them by the ears. Arching the lower back at lockout: ribs down, glutes tight.
Breathing
Exhale on the extension, inhale on the stretch.
