Instructions
1. Attach a suspension trainer to a secure anchor point above head height.
2. Grasp the handles of the suspension trainer with a neutral grip (palms facing each other).
3. Step forward so your body is leaning into the straps, maintaining a straight line from head to heels.
4. Stagger your stance for balance, keeping one foot slightly in front of the other, or keep feet together for a more challenging stance.
5. Start with your arms fully extended and your hands in line with your forehead or just above; your body should be angled away from the anchor point.
6. Keeping your body rigid and core engaged, slowly bend your elbows to lower your body, allowing the hands to move beside the head.
7. Keep the elbows pointing forward and avoid flaring them out to the sides.
8. Lower yourself until your elbows are at a 90-degree angle or slightly deeper for full range of motion.
9. Push back up by extending your arms and using the triceps until you return to the starting position with arms fully extended.
10. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
Tips: Control your movement throughout the exercise to maintain tension on the triceps; Adjust your body angle to change resistance; Prevent your hips from sagging by engaging your abs and glutes; Keep your spine neutral and avoid neck strain by looking straight ahead; Breathe out on the extension phase and breathe in on the return phase.
