Lying Tricep Extension (Band)

An isolation exercise performed lying down using a resistance band to isolate and strengthen the triceps through elbow extension.

Instructions

1. Lie flat on a bench or mat on your back with knees bent and feet flat.
2. Anchor the band under your back or hold it with your hands behind your head.
3. Grip the band with both hands and position your arms bent at the elbows near your head.
4. Press upward by extending your elbows and driving the band away from your body.
5. Fully extend your arms at the top of the movement while maintaining control.
6. Lower the band back to the starting position with your elbows bent in a controlled manner.
7. Keep your upper arms relatively stationary throughout the movement.
8. Perform the desired number of repetitions with proper form.

Tips

• Keep your core engaged and your back pressed against the surface for stability.
• Focus on contracting the triceps at the top of the movement before lowering.
• Avoid flaring your elbows too far out to the sides.
• Move through a full range of motion for maximum triceps engagement.
• Keep tension constant on the band throughout the entire set.
• Adjust band resistance based on your strength level to maintain control.
