Tricep Pushdown (TB)

TRICEP PUSHDOWN (Tb):

 

Muscles worked:
	Triceps
Instructions:
Tie one end of the theraband to the doorknob on the opposite side of the door. Place the theraband over the top of the door and close the door. Grasp the other end of the theraband, with your palm facing down, and face the closed door. Your feet should be hip-width apart and your back straight. Your elbow should be bent so that your hand starts at chest height. Your upper arm (elbow to shoulder) should be stationary, and perpendicular to the floor at all times. Push downward until your arm is fully extended. Hold this position for a second while flexing your tricep. Your elbow should always remain at your side and your wrist should be locked straight. Slowly allow your hand to return to the starting position in a controlled manner. Switch arms and repeat.
Don'ts:
Don't let your elbows wander away from your body. Keep your elbow on a "fixed-axis" at your side at all times.
