Target Muscle: Triceps
Banded Triceps Extension Overview
If you're looking to target your triceps, then triceps extension with a resistance band is a great option. This exercise is relatively simple to do, but it's very effective in building strength in your triceps.
If you're running out of time to go to the gym but still want your arms to look pumped, this variation is your perfect solution.
How to Do It
- Attach a band to a stable anchor point. Make sure it's above your head height and assume a standing position.
- Take a neutral grip over the band and slightly lean forward.
- Now slowly pull the band by flexing your triceps.
- Keep pulling it till you feel your elbows almost locked out.
- Return it to the starting position under controlled movement.
- Repeat for the desired number of reps.
Banded Triceps Extension Tips
- Your shoulder blades should not tilt forward.
- In order to maintain tension in your triceps, do not lock your elbows completely.
- Don't let your elbows extend and move in front of your body.
