Keep your upper arms close to your head and ears, this is your starting position.
Slowly bend your elbows, lowering the band behind your head until your arms are at about a 90-degree angle, ensuring you keep your elbows stationary and do not flare out.
Using your triceps, extend your arms back to the starting position while keeping your upper arms still.
Repeat this movement for the desired number of repetitions, ensuring to maintain control and not letting the band snap back quickly.
Pro Tip
Keep Your Elbows Close: A common mistake is to let your elbows flare out to the sides. Keep your elbows close to your head throughout the exercise. This will help isolate your triceps and prevent injury. Control Your Movements: Avoid jerky or fast movements. Instead, lower the band slowly behind your head, keeping your upper arms stationary. Then, use your triceps to extend your arms and return to the starting position. Controlled movements will ensure you're working the muscle, not using momentum. Avoid Arching Your Back: It's essential to keep your core engaged and your back straight throughout the exercise. If you find yourself arching your back, it might mean the resistance is too high
