Standing Band Overhead Single Arm Tricep Extensions

Loop a pullup or long loop band through itself on the support beam of a power rack of other machine at around knee height or lower. Stand facing away from the power rack so the band is in-line with the center of your body. Using one arm, extend the band overhead keeping your elbow facing in front of you avoiding it flaring out. Keep the elbow in the same position throughout this exercise. We are bending our elbow from 90° to about 180° and then back to 90°. If you want more resistance, use a thicker band or walk farther from the squat rack.

Trainer Tip: You can do these with your hand inside the band loop with your palms facing away or with both sides of the end loop in your hand like a pistol grip with your thumb facing behind you. Both are correct and feel free to alternate grips between sets or on different days for a different stimulus.
