Description

This exercise trains the triceps in isolation. You only need a long Theraband for this exercise and can do it at home or in the gym.

Exercise

Triceps press

Standing

Type: Unilateral Rest: 120s Equipment: Fitnessband lang

Tutorial

1

Stand shoulder-width apart and pass the Theraband around your neck. Grasp both ends with one hand. Grip the band so that your arms are bent at an angle of approx. 90°. This is your starting position.
2

Press the ends of the band down until your arms are fully extended. Breathe out as you do so.
3

Slowly bring the ends of the band upwards in a controlled manner until your arms are bent at 90° and you are back in the starting position. Breathe in as you do this.
4

One repetition has now been completed. Repeat this process for the specified number of repetitions.

Tip

Use the full range of motion! Keep going up as long as the band is under tension. Go all the way down until the maximum contraction in the triceps is reached. Keep your upper body upright and straight throughout the exercise.
Make sure you choose the right band for you (resistance, length).
Note: You can use the grip width to regulate the resistance of the band. If you make the band shorter, the resistance will be higher and the exercise will be harder. Long bands can also be folded in the middle to halve their length and increase the resistance.
