One Arm Band Leaning Overhead Tricep Extension Over Band


Pro Tip

Try to keep your torso upright as best as you can. If you lean too far forward you will alter the mechanics of the movement.


How To

  1. Stand upright in a staggered stance, with your feet shoulder-width apart and a band securely positioned under your back foot.
  2. Position your upper arm next to your head, bent, and gripping one end of the band with your palm facing away from you.
  3. Hold your upper arm in place with your opposite arm and exhale, extending your arm overhead.
  4. Keeping the upper portion of your arm still, continue until your arm straightens and is fully extended overhead.
  5. Inhale and lower your arm, allowing it to bend and return to the starting position.
  6. After all reps are completed, switch sides and repeat the movement. 10 reps prescribed means you should perform 10 reps on each side (20 total).
