Triceps Extension - Band

Is this for yourself or for a patient?

  • HOW: Begin by anchoring bands at head height or above. While standing with your knees slightly bent and your chest slightly over your knees, grab a band for each hand. Keep your elbows at your side with your palms facing down as you bend your arms up. From here, pull the band down until your hands are down at your side. Return to the starting position and repeat for the prescribed amount of reps. 
  • FEEL: You should feel your triceps muscle working. 
  • COMPENSATION: Keep your elbows in at your side. Limit the movement to just your elbows bending and straightening.
