How to perform

Securely attach suspension straps above head height. Stand facing away, holding handles with an overhand grip. Extend arms to shoulder height, elbows slightly bent. Lean forward, maintaining a straight line. Bend elbows to lower body, keeping upper arms still. Stop when hands are near your forehead, elbows close to your head. Press through palms to return to start. Repeat with control.

Muscles Worked

Triceps
Secondary: Anterior Delts, Mid Chest, Flexors, Transverse Abdominis

Tips

Adjust strap length for constant tension. Engage your core and align your body. Move only at the elbow joint; avoid swinging. Control speed, especially during descent. Maintain neutral wrists. Start upright and increase angle as strength improves.
