The Resistance Band Tricep Pulldown is a strength training exercise that targets the triceps, the muscles on the back of your upper arms. It is an effective exercise for building tricep strength and muscle definition using a resistance band. The tricep pulldown motion mimics the movement pattern of a traditional cable tricep pushdown often performed at the gym.
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 about your shoulder height.
You should position yourself facing the anchor point. Also, make sure you are far enough away that there is no slack when your elbows are tucked in at your side and hands pointing forwards and your palms facing inwards.
This is the starting position.
From here extend one of your hands down, 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.
