The Resistance Band Tricep Extension is a strength training exercise that targets the triceps, the muscles on the back of your upper arms. It is an effective isolation exercise for building tricep strength and definition. This exercise can be performed using resistance bands, making it a versatile and portable option for those looking to work their triceps without the need for heavy equipment.
First, grab one end of a band in one hand, wrap it around something that won’t move or break and grab the other end in the other hand. Be sure to attach it at knee height.
You should position yourself facing away from the anchor point. Also make sure you are far enough away that there is no slack when your elbows are pointing forward and your hands pointing backward.
This is the starting position.
From here extend one of your hands forward by extending at the elbow until the arm is fully extended or as far as you can. After this, slowly return the arm back to the starting position. Once you’ve done one arm repeat on the other arm, once you’ve done both you have down one repetition, now repeat this for the desired amount.
If you have limited gripping ability try using the Active Hands D-Ring Aids and a Carabiner to make this exercise as safe as possible.
