TRX Triceps Extension
How to do it
- Adjust the TRX straps to a fully lengthened setting and stand facing away from the anchor, holding a handle in each hand near your ears.
- Step forward into a slight forward lean with feet hip-width apart, keeping your body in a straight line from head to heels.
- Keep your upper arms stationary and extend your elbows to press your hands forward and down until your arms are straight.
- Bend your elbows to return your hands back toward your head, feeling the load through the triceps brachii.
- Work at a standard steady tempo for each rep, bracing the core to prevent the hips from sagging.
- Keep your elbows pointing forward throughout rather than letting them drift wide, which shifts load off the triceps.
