Overhead Triceps Push Down

Exercise Overview

This is a strengthening exercise for the triceps that can be completed with a strength band, pullup assist band or cable pulley. Start by anchoring a band overhead behind you and hold with with both hands. Raise your elbows so that your humerus (upper arm) is parallel to the floor while assuming a split squat stance. Extend your elbows at a 2 second tempo to contract the triceps while keeping your elbows stationary. Bend your elbow at a 2 second elbow without moving the elbows up or down to complete a repetition.
