LIBRARY / TRICEP EXTENSION

Reverse Grip Triceps Pushdown (Resistance Band)

How to do it

Anchor a resistance band securely overhead and hold one end in each hand with both palms up and elbows tucked beside your torso. Extend both elbows to press the hands down, squeeze the triceps, then return slowly without letting the band snap upward. Keep the wrists neutral and upper arms still.

Setup

Anchor the band overhead and stand far enough away to create tension at the bent-elbow start. Hold one end in each hand with palms up, wrists straight, elbows beside the ribs, shoulders down, feet stable, and torso tall.

Where you should feel it

Through both triceps with band tension increasing toward straight arms, while the forearms maintain the underhand grip and the core holds the torso still. Control the easier return range.

When to use it

Use for portable bilateral triceps activation and higher-repetition accessory work with an underhand grip. Smooth sets of 12-25 reps suit the rising band resistance.
