How to do it
4 stepsAnchor a resistance band to the base of a rack or bench leg. Lie on the bench so the band lines up with your head.
Hold the band with your palms facing up and your upper arms vertical. Bend your elbows so your hands are by your forehead.
Keeping your upper arms still, straighten your elbows and push your hands up and slightly back.
Pause for a moment with your triceps tight, then return to the start under control.
Only your forearms should move. If your elbows drift toward your feet or flare out, use a lighter band or move the bench closer to the anchor.
To make it harder, use a stronger band or slow the lowering to three seconds.
