Banded rope pushdown

Target: Triceps

Form tips:

• Keep your chest up proud, and glutes and core engaged for stability.
• Start with your elbows bent and hands at chest height, then extend at your elbows to pull the band down.
• Your upper arms and elbows should remain in the same position throughout.
• Aim to feel the squeeze in the back of your arms as you lock them out.
• If the tension on the band is too strong, create more slack by gripping the band lower down.

Modification – Dumbbell kickbacks:

• If you don't have a suitable overhead anchor point, switch to a pair of light dumbbells to work your triceps with kickbacks.
