Sled Overhead Triceps Extension

Technique

How to perform Sled Overhead Triceps Extension

1. Attach handled sled straps and choose a load you can move by extending your elbows.
2. Face away from the sled and take a staggered stance with the straps taut.
3. Hold the handles close together above and behind your head, with your elbows bent and upper arms pointing upward.
4. Maintain your upper-arm position and steady torso as you extend your elbows to move the sled forward.
5. Let the sled stop, then step forward while bending your elbows to re-establish the starting position and strap tension.
6. Repeat the elbow extension without using a whole-body lunge to move the load.
