Exercise Profile

Elastics Triceps Extension Overview

The elastic triceps extension workout is designed to primarily engage the triceps muscles.

Elastics are used as resistance bands to target the triceps, providing a challenging workout.

By gripping the elastic and extending the arm, the triceps are isolated and effectively strengthened.

While other muscles may be involved, the focus remains on the triceps, ensuring maximum engagement and results.

Elastics Triceps Extension Instructions

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and place the center of the elastic band under your feet.
  2. Hold one end of the band in each hand, with your palms facing up and your elbows bent at a 90-degree angle.
  3. Keep your upper arms stationary and straighten your elbows, extending your hands back until your arms are fully extended.
  4. Pause for a moment, feeling the contraction in your triceps.
  5. Slowly bend your elbows, returning to the starting position.
  6. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.
  7. Once you have completed your set, release the tension in the band and carefully remove it from under your feet.

Elastics Triceps Extension Tips

  1. Position yourself in a standing position with your feet shoulder-width apart and firmly planted on the ground. This will provide a stable base to perform the exercise and engage your core muscles.
  2. Hold the elastic band with both hands, keeping your palms facing down and your elbows close to your sides. This starting position will ensure that your triceps muscles are the primary focus of the exercise.
  3. Engage your triceps by extending your arms straight back, while maintaining a slight bend in your elbows. Focus on squeezing your triceps at the end of the movement to maximize muscle activation.
  4. Control the movement throughout the exercise, avoiding any jerking or swinging motions. This will help you maintain proper form and prevent injury. Remember, slow and controlled movements are key to effectively targeting your triceps.
  5. As you return to the starting position, resist the urge to fully relax your arms. Keep a slight tension in your triceps to keep the muscles engaged throughout the entire set. This continuous tension will lead to greater muscle activation and better results.
