Speed Band Overhead Triceps

Triceps · Band

How to do it

Anchor a band to the floor or a bench base and face away, hands overhead holding the other end with your elbows bent. **Extend the forearms fast**, without fully locking out, and return under control; chain reps at a good rhythm. The band bites at the end, so you have to accelerate the whole way. It is used as a finisher on an arm day or as elbow warm-up. The classic mistake is doing it slowly: with no speed, it is a different exercise.

Variants

The drawing shows one way of doing it, and the technique above describes that one. Almost every exercise has variants — standing or seated, the grip, the bench angle — and is still the same exercise: if you do it another way, write it in the exercise note and you will have it every time you train it.
