Resistance-Band Standing Tricep Pushdown

1. Setup:

   • Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart.

   • Hold the resistance band with both hands, keeping your elbows close to your sides.

   • Your palms should face each other, with a firm grip on the band.

2. Positioning:

   • Anchor the resistance band overhead. You can use a door anchor or secure it to a sturdy, elevated point.

   • Stand slightly away from the anchor point so there is tension in the band when your arms are bent.

3. Starting Position:

   • Start with your elbows bent at a 90-degree angle, hands near your face.

   • Ensure that your shoulders are relaxed and back.

4. Movement:

   • While keeping your elbows stationary, push the band downwards until your arms are fully extended.

   • Focus on squeezing your triceps as you push down.

5. Return:

   • Slowly return to the starting position by bending your elbows back to the 90-degree angle.

   • Control the movement, allowing for the resistance band to provide tension.

6. Repetitions:

   • Perform 10-15 repetitions for 2-3 sets, resting for about 30-60 seconds between sets.

Tips:

• Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to maintain balance.

• Avoid arching your back; keep your movements steady and controlled.

• Adjust the resistance of the band by changing your grip width or stepping closer to the anchor.
