Band Lying Tricep Extension


Pro Tip

If you feel discomfort, you can place a mat or towel underneath you. The band can be wrapped around any stable object if a power rack or pole is not available.


How To

  1. Wrap a band several inches above the lowest portion of a power rack or pole and lie down with your head, back, and feet firmly planted on the floor with bent legs.
  2. Grip one end of the band in each hand with your palms facing away from you, your upper arms directly above your shoulders, and your arms bent so that your hands are several inches from your forehead.
  3. Exhale and extend your arms forward in front of your face while keeping your upper arm still, maintaining its position directly above your shoulders.
  4. Continue until your arms are fully extended above your shoulders.
  5. Inhale and allow your arms to bend, returning to the starting position.
