Band pushdown

Target Muscle

Equipment

1

Grasp the band with both hands, your palms facing down, and position your hands at the level of your chest.

2

Keeping your elbows close to your body, push the band down by extending your arms fully until they are straight and parallel to the floor.

3

Pause for a moment while your arms are fully extended, contracting your triceps.

4

Slowly return to the starting position by bending your elbows and raising your hands back to chest level, maintaining tension in the band throughout the movement. Repeat this for the desired number of repetitions.

Pro Tip

**Correct Form:** Maintain proper form throughout the exercise. Stand upright with your feet hip-width apart, keep your elbows close to your body and make sure to fully extend your arms at the bottom of the movement. Avoid locking your elbows or shrugging your shoulders as these are common mistakes that can lead to injury. **Controlled Movement:** Perform the exercise in a slow and controlled manner. Avoid using momentum to push the band down as this can lead to improper form and potential injury. Instead, focus on using your triceps to push the band down and then slowly return to the starting position. **Breath Control:** Don't hold your breath while performing the exercise. Inhale as you start the movement
