Instructions
1. Secure a resistance band to a sturdy, overhead anchor point, such as a pull-up bar or the top of a power rack.
2. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, facing the anchor point of the band.
3. Grip the band with both hands, with your palms facing down, starting at about chest height.
4. Keep your elbows close to your sides and tuck them in throughout the movement. This will be your starting position.
5. To begin the movement, push the band down until your arms are fully extended. The hands may separate as you extend the arms.
6. Pause for a moment when your arms are fully extended, squeezing your tricep muscles.
7. Slowly release the tension and allow your arms to return to the starting position.
8. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
Ensure that you use a resistance band that provides adequate tension for your level of strength and do not let the band snap back quickly on the return. Control the movement at all times.
