How to do the Speed Band Overhead Triceps

  1. 1

    For this exercise anchor a band to the ground. We used an incline bench and anchored the band to the base, standing over the bench. Alternatively, this could be performed standing on the band.

  2. 2

    To begin, pull the band behind your head, holding it with a pronated grip and your elbows up. This will be your starting position.

  3. 3

    To perform the movement, extend through the elbow to to straighten your arms, ensuring that you keep your upper arm in place.

  4. 4

    Pause, and then return to the starting position.
