Speed Band Overhead Triceps

Technique

How to perform Speed Band Overhead Triceps

1. Secure the long loop band beneath one foot, or anchor it at the base of a bench that will not lift or slide under the pull.
2. Stand with the band behind you and hold it with both hands behind the head.
3. Raise the elbows and keep the upper arms steady beside the head with tension already on the band.
4. Straighten the elbows briskly without swinging the upper arms or using a torso thrust.
5. Control the return by bending the elbows; do not let the band snap the hands backward.
6. Repeat with the same arm position and lower the hands under control when finished.
