How to do a band overhead tricep extension

  1. Stand on the center of the band with feet shoulder-width apart, holding the other end overhead with both hands, elbows bent behind your head.
  2. Keep your upper arms stationary and close to your head.
  3. Extend your elbows to press the band overhead until your arms are fully straight.
  4. Pause briefly at the top and squeeze your triceps.
  5. Slowly lower back to the starting position under control.
  6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Form tips

  • Keep your elbows pointed forward and tucked in, not flaring out.
  • Maintain a neutral spine and avoid arching your lower back.
  • Control the eccentric phase rather than letting the band snap back.
