Instructions

Exercise Instructions: Suspender Triceps Press

Positioning:

1. Setup: Adjust the suspension trainer to an appropriate height, typically around waist level.
2. Grip: Hold the handles of the suspension trainer with both hands.
3. Starting Position: Stand facing away from the anchor point of the suspension trainer. Lean forward slightly, maintaining a straight body line from head to heels. Your feet should be planted firmly on the ground, about shoulder-width apart.
4. Body Position: Extend your arms straight in front of you, keeping a slight bend in the elbows. Your body should form a straight line from your head to your heels, with your core engaged.

Movement:

1. Descent: Slowly lower your body toward the ground by bending your elbows. Keep your elbows close to your body as you lower down. Focus on using your triceps to control the movement.
2. Range: Aim to lower your forehead towards your hands or as low as is comfortable for you while maintaining control.
3. Ascent: Press through your hands to return to the starting position. Straighten your arms while keeping your body in a straight line.
4. Repetitions: Perform 8-12 repetitions for 2-3 sets, depending on your fitness level. Rest for 30-60 seconds between sets.

Tips:

- Keep your core tight throughout the movement to support your back.
- Avoid flaring your elbows out; keep them aligned with your torso.
- Adjust the angle of your body to make the exercise easier or harder. A more upright position is easier; a more horizontal position is harder.
