Triceps extension
Triceps extension: written movement steps, equipment and example doses. General information to help you choose an appropriate starting point.
How to do it
- Keep the upper arm steady and straighten the elbow until the arm is long, then return slowly. The elbow moves; the shoulder does not need to join in.
- Keep it controlled enough that you could stop the rep cleanly at any point.
Equipment
- band
- resistance band
Example variations
The written steps above use one library example. These other doses are separate options, not instructions to complete every variation or progress automatically.
| Level | Example dose | Equipment |
|---|---|---|
| beginner | 3 minutes | band, resistance band |
| advanced | 5 minutes | band, resistance band |
| standard | 4 minutes | band, resistance band |
Safety and comfort
- What it should not feel like: elbow pain or shoulder discomfort
