Instructions
1. Attach a suspension trainer to a secure anchor point above head height.
2. Grasp the handles of the suspension trainer with your palms facing down. Stand facing away from the anchor point.
3. Walk your feet forward until you're leaning forward, standing on the balls of your feet, body at a slight angle to the floor, and elbows bent so your hands are by your chest. This is the starting position.
4. Brace your core and keep your body straight, maintaining a plank position.
5. Extend your elbows to push your hands down and away from your body until your arms are fully extended behind you. Only your forearms should move.
6. Squeeze your triceps at the top of the motion, pause briefly.
7. Return to the starting position by bending at the elbows.
8. Perform the desired number of repetitions and sets, ensuring to maintain form and control throughout each rep.
Tips: Keep your elbows tucked in close to your body during the exercise to maximize the engagement of the triceps. Adjust the difficulty by changing your body's angle; the closer your feet are to the anchor point, the more challenging the exercise becomes. Ensure to perform the exercise with a controlled tempo, avoiding any swinging or jerky movements. If at any point the exercise feels too difficult, step back to reduce the incline and ease the resistance.
