How to do it

Triceps extension with a band from a kneeling position that keeps rising tension at the end of the range.

Form. Fix the band, point your elbows forward and extend without flaring your ribs or losing your shoulder position.

Common mistake. Flaring the elbows, arching the lower back, or letting the band rub the neck.
