Instructions

1. Select an appropriate resistance band and attach it to a low, stable anchor point behind the incline bench.

2. Adjust the incline bench to an angle that allows you to perform the exercise comfortably, typically around 45 to 60 degrees.

3. Sit on the incline bench facing away from the anchor point with your feet planted on the floor for stability.

4. Grab the ends of the resistance band with both hands and extend your arms above your head, ensuring that your palms are facing each other.

5. Keeping your elbows still and upper arms close to your head, slowly bend your elbows to lower your hands behind your head. The resistance band should stretch as your hands descend.

6. Once your forearms move beyond parallel to the floor, pause for a moment.

7. Push through your triceps to extend your elbows and return your hands to the starting position above your head.

8. Repeat the motion for the desired number of repetitions and sets.

Ensure that the movement is controlled, especially on the downward phase, to maintain constant tension on the triceps muscles. Adjust the resistance by changing the tension of the band or by selecting a different band to match your strength level. Keep your core engaged and your back flat against the bench throughout the exercise.
