How to perform

Secure a resistance band to a high anchor point. Stand facing the anchor, holding the band's ends with palms down. Feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent. Start with elbows bent 90 degrees, upper arms close to your sides. Exhale, extend arms downward until fully extended. Pause briefly at the bottom, contracting triceps. Inhale, slowly return to the start. Repeat.

Tips

Keep elbows stationary and close to your body. Avoid momentum; focus on controlled movements. Adjust resistance by changing distance from the anchor. Maintain a neutral spine and engage your core. Ensure a secure band anchor.
