Tips

- Keep your elbows pointed straight to the ceiling and stationary; only your forearms should move. - Control the band on the way down; don't let the band snap you back to the start. - Squeeze your triceps hard at the top of the movement for a peak contraction to fully fatigue the muscle. - Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent to maintain a stable base.
