Resistance Band Overhead Tricep Extension
The resistance band overhead tricep extension targets the long head by anchoring a band low and extending behind the head. The accommodating resistance provides peak tension at lockout where the triceps are strongest.
How to Perform
Anchor the band at a low point behind you, grip it with both hands behind your head.
Face away from the anchor, step forward until you feel tension with elbows bent.
Extend your arms forward and up until they are fully straight overhead.
Return slowly to the bent-elbow position, feeling the stretch in the triceps.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Standing too close to the anchor, which provides insufficient resistance.
Rounding the upper back forward instead of maintaining an upright torso.
Moving the elbows forward and back instead of keeping them fixed near your ears.
