Resistance-Band Incline Triceps Extension

Resistance Band Incline Triceps Extension

• Incline bench (optional)

1. Positioning:

• Sit on an incline bench with your back against the pad. If you don’t have a bench, you can sit on the floor with your back straight.

• Secure the resistance bands to a stable point behind you, ensuring they are at a lower height.

• Hold the band handles in each hand with your arms bent at a 90-degree angle, elbows close to your head.

2. Starting Position:

   • Engage your core and keep your feet flat on the floor.

   • Your forearms should be parallel to the ground, and your elbows should remain stationary.

3. Movement:

   • Slowly extend your arms upward by straightening your elbows, keeping the tension on the bands.

   • Ensure that your upper arms do not move; only your forearms should be involved in the movement.

   • Hold at the top for a moment, squeezing your triceps.

4. Return:

   • Gradually lower your forearms back to the starting position, maintaining control and resistance throughout the movement.

5. Repetitions:

   • Aim for 10-15 repetitions, ensuring good form. Rest briefly and then repeat for 2-3 sets.

Tips:

• Start with lighter resistance bands and gradually increase the resistance as you become more comfortable with the exercise.

• Focus on controlling the movement and avoiding jerking or swinging to ensure the effectiveness of the exercise.
