How to perform Band Single-Arm Overhead Triceps Extension

1. Place one lower leg inside a long loop resistance band and take a half-kneeling stance with that knee and shin on the floor and your other foot planted in front.
2. Trap the bottom of the loop beneath your down shin so it stays anchored as you pull upward.
3. With the hand on the down-knee side, grip the free loop and bring it behind the same shoulder. Bend that elbow and point it upward so your hand starts behind your head.
4. Keep your upper arm beside your head, your wrist aligned with your forearm, and your torso upright.
5. Straighten the working elbow to extend your arm overhead without arching your lower back or moving the upper arm.
6. Bend the elbow under control to return your hand behind your head, keeping tension on the band.
7. After your repetitions, lower your hand toward your shoulder and release the band's tension under control before removing your shin.
8. Switch which knee is down and repeat with the other arm.
