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, securely attach a band to something that won’t move or break. Be sure to attach it at 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 your hand 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 down to the starting position. This is one repetition, now repeat this for the desired amount. Once you’ve done all the reps on one arm, if required in the program and you are able to do so, repeat the exercise and the repetitions with the other arm.
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.
