Resistance-Band Incline Triceps Extension

Resistance Band Incline Triceps Extension

- Incline bench (optional)
1. Positioning:
- Sit on an incline bench with your back against the pad. If you don’t have a bench, you can sit on the floor with your back straight.
- Secure the resistance bands to a stable point behind you, ensuring they are at a lower height.
- Hold the band handles in each hand with your arms bent at a 90-degree angle, elbows close to your head.

2. Starting Position:
- Engage your core and keep your feet flat on the floor.
- Your forearms should be parallel to the ground, and your elbows should remain stationary.

3. Movement:
- Slowly extend your arms upward by straightening your elbows, keeping the tension on the bands.
- Ensure that your upper arms do not move; only your forearms should be involved in the movement.
- Hold at the top for a moment, squeezing your triceps.

4. Return:
- Gradually lower your forearms back to the starting position, maintaining control and resistance throughout the movement.

5. Repetitions:
- Aim for 10-15 repetitions, ensuring good form. Rest briefly and then repeat for 2-3 sets.

Tips:
- Start with lighter resistance bands and gradually increase the resistance as you become more comfortable with the exercise.
- Focus on controlling the movement and avoiding jerking or swinging to ensure the effectiveness of the exercise.
