How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

01Anchor a light resistance band securely near floor height behind you and hold it in one hand with that arm overhead.
02Bend the working elbow so your hand moves behind your head and allow the band to provide gentle downward traction.
03Keep your upper arm close to your head, your ribs down, and your lower back neutral.
04Adjust your elbow and body position until you feel a mild stretch through the triceps without shoulder or elbow pain.
05Hold for the prescribed time, step toward the anchor to reduce tension, release the band slowly, and change arms.
