The Band Side Triceps Extension is a strength training exercise that targets the triceps muscles, located at the back of the upper arm.
How to perform
To perform the Band Side Triceps Extension, follow these steps:1. Begin by securing a resistance band to a stationary object at shoulder height.
2. Stand with your side facing the anchor point and grasp the end of the band with your inside hand.
3. Keep your elbow close to your side and start with your arm bent at a 90-degree angle.
4. Extend your arm straight out to the side, keeping your elbow in place and squeezing your triceps at the top of the movement.
5. Slowly lower your arm back to the starting position to complete one repetition.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching to the other side.
For an added challenge, you can increase the resistance of the band or perform more repetitions. Make sure to maintain proper form throughout the exercise to effectively target the triceps muscles.
Equipment required
Band
Band equipment consists of elastic bands or tubes that provide resistance during exercises. They are commonly used to strengthen and tone muscles, improve flexibility, and increase range of motion. Bands are versatile and can be used for a variety of exercises targeting different muscle groups, making them suitable for strength training, rehabilitation, and physical therapy. The resistance levels can be adjusted based on the tension of the band, allowing for progressive overload and customization for individual fitness levels.
