Exercise Description

The overhead banded tricep extension builds strong, defined triceps while improving shoulder stability. It's perfect for adding size to your arms with smooth resistance.

How To

1. Stand tall and hold the resistance band with both hands, raising it overhead with arms extended. 2. Keep your upper arms still and slowly bend your elbows, lowering the band behind your head for the overhead banded tricep extension. 3. Feel the stretch in your triceps at the bottom, then squeeze your triceps to extend your arms back to the starting position. 4. Control the band on both the lowering and lifting phases of the overhead banded tricep extension movement. 5. Complete your reps with steady breathing, exhaling as you extend your arms up.

Form Tips

• Keep your elbows close to your head during the overhead banded tricep extension to target your triceps properly. • Squeeze your core tight to prevent your back from arching as you perform the movement. • Use slow, controlled movements rather than bouncing or using momentum for the overhead banded tricep extension. • Choose a band tension that challenges you but allows perfect form throughout all reps.

Common Mistakes

• Letting your elbows flare out wide instead of keeping them close to your head during overhead banded tricep extension. • Using too much band tension and losing control of the movement, leading to poor form. • Arching your back excessively instead of keeping your core tight during the overhead banded tricep extension exercise.
