Resistance Band Tricep Pushdown
The resistance band tricep pushdown mimics the cable pushdown by anchoring a band overhead and pressing down to full elbow extension. The increasing band tension provides a unique strength curve that maximizes lockout contraction.
How to Perform
Anchor a resistance band to a high point — a pull-up bar or door attachment works well.
Grab the band with both hands at chest height, elbows pinned to your sides.
Push the band down by extending your elbows until your arms are completely straight.
Return slowly to the starting position, keeping your elbows locked against your ribs.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Letting the elbows drift forward and back, which recruits the shoulders and lats.
Using a band that is too light and cranking out high reps without meaningful resistance.
Leaning over the band to use body weight instead of isolating the triceps.
