How to do it
Keep your wrist neutral rather than letting it bend backward.
- 1
Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and secure one end of the band under your foot.
- 2
Hold the other end of the band with one hand and raise your arm overhead.
- 3
Keep your upper arm close to your head and bend your elbow to lower the band behind your head.
- 4
Extend your arm to raise the band back to the starting position.
- 5
Complete the desired number of repetitions before switching arms.
Expert tip
Focus on keeping your upper arm stationary and only moving your forearm to fully engage the triceps muscle.
