Resistance Band Standing Triceps Extension is a targeted exercise for the triceps (back of the arm), helping to build arm strength, improve arm definition, and enhance power generation in pressing movements.
Target Muscles
Triceps (Primary)
Anterior Deltoid (Stabilizer)
Core Muscles (for balance)
Movement Steps
1. Set up by securing the resistance band around your feet. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, ensuring the band is stable. Hold the other end of the band with both hands, palms facing up, elbows bent, and arms positioned behind your head. Engage your core, keep your back straight, and avoid rounding your lower back or arching excessively.
2. Exhale as you extend your arms overhead, using your triceps to slowly lift the band toward the ceiling. Feel the contraction in the back of your arms. Keep your elbows fixed, avoiding arm swing or engaging other muscles. Straighten your arms but avoid locking your elbows to maintain tension.
3. Controlled Return Inhale as you slowly bend your elbows, pulling the resistance band back to the starting position (elbows bent to approximately 90°). Maintain stability throughout the movement, avoiding sudden drops or momentum-driven swings.
Training Recommendations Sets & Reps: 3-4 sets of 12-15 reps
Pace Control: Push up 1 sec → Hold 1 sec → Lower slowly 2 sec
