How to do banded triceps extensions
- You can anchor a resistance band to your chest with your free hand or attach it to a stable anchor point above your head.
- Take a neutral grip over the band.
- Slowly pull the band downwards by flexing your biceps, and keep going until your elbows almost lock. To maintain the tension in your triceps, however, do not lock your elbows completely.
- Your shoulder blades should not tilt forward.
- Return it to the starting position.
- Perform all movements in a controlled manner.
- Repeat for 8-12 reps.
Safety tips
Choose a resistance band suitable for your fitness level. You should also hold the other end tightly or make sure the anchor point is secure. If you are doing the exercise as part of elbow injury or surgery recovery, monitor your symptoms. If it becomes too painful, try lowering the resistance or reps or speaking to your clinician about alternative exercises.
