How to do the Band Single-Arm Tricep Pushdown
Secure a resistance band to a high anchor point such as a pull-up bar or the top of a cable machine. Ensure it is fixed firmly and can withstand the tension of the exercise.
Stand facing the anchor with your feet shoulder-width apart. Grasp the handles of the resistance band with both hands.
Keep a slight bend in your knees and hinge forward slightly at the hips. Make sure your back is straight and chest is up.
Start with your elbows bent and forearms parallel to the floor. Your elbows should be close to your body.
Exhale as you push the band handles down towards your thighs, fully extending your arms and focusing on using your triceps to create the movement.
Squeeze your triceps at the bottom of the movement and hold for a brief pause.
Inhale as you slowly return to the starting position, allowing your forearms to come back to the parallel position, maintaining control and tension in the band throughout.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
Ensure that you perform the exercise in a controlled manner to avoid any undue stress on the elbow joints and to maximize the engagement of the triceps. Adjust the resistance of the band as needed to suit your strength level.
