How to Do Resistance Band Tricep Pushdown
Form Cues
- 1
Anchor band overhead, keep elbows pinned at sides
- 2
Fully extend arms, control the return
- 3
Stand close enough to the anchor to keep tension throughout the whole range
- 4
Squeeze the triceps hard at full extension before returning
Common Mistakes
- ●
Letting elbows flare out during the pushdown — pin elbows to sides and keep movement strict
- ●
Using body weight to lean into the movement instead of isolating the triceps
- ●
Releasing the band too quickly on the return — control the eccentric with the same care as the push
Equipment Variations
- ▸
Cable tricep pushdown as direct substitute
- ▸
Dumbbell overhead tricep extension as alternative
