Triceps
One Arm Straight Overhead Extension

The overhead extension for when there is nothing to anchor to. You stand on the band instead, so you can do it anywhere. The overhead position puts the long head of the Triceps on stretch, and that is the part most arm work misses.
Set Up
Anchor: None needed.
Bands: Clip a closed ankle strap to one end of the band and grip the loop with your working hand, fingers inside the loop and thumb outside.
Body position: Stand on the middle of the band. Raise your working arm and bring your hand behind your head with the upper arm vertical. Head straight, back straight, stomach tight.
Movement
Press your hand straight up above your head until the arm is almost fully straight.
Points To Remember
- Keep your elbow pointing up through the whole range.
