Banded Tricep Extensions

About

The Banded Tricep Extension is an effective exercise for isolating and strengthening the triceps. It utilizes resistance bands to provide a controlled and progressive resistance throughout the movement. This exercise is beneficial for targeting all three heads of the triceps, with a focus on the long head during overhead variations. The use of bands allows for accommodating resistance, which increases tension as the triceps contract, making it an excellent choice for both beginners and advanced trainers. To perform the Banded Tricep Extension, attach a band to a stable anchor above head height and grasp it with a neutral grip. Lean forward slightly and extend the elbows to contract the triceps. Lower the band slowly to the starting position, maintaining control throughout the movement. This exercise can be modified to suit different preferences by adjusting the band tension or using single-arm variations. It is also versatile, allowing for various grip positions and setups, such as seated or standing configurations.
