TRX Overhead Triceps Extension
How to do it
- Set the TRX straps to a mid length and face away from the anchor point, holding a handle in each hand overhead.
- Walk forward until your arms are extended overhead and your body is angled forward, feet together for a narrow base.
- Keeping your elbows pointed forward and close to your ears, bend your arms to lower your head toward your hands.
- Press through the triceps brachii to straighten your arms back overhead, bracing your core to keep your torso rigid throughout.
- Move at a controlled tempo, exhaling as you extend and inhaling as you lower.
- Keep your elbows fixed in place rather than letting them flare outward or drift apart during the movement.
