RB One Arm Triceps Pushdown is a simple and effective resistance band exercise that isolates the triceps. It’s perfect for home workouts and can be done by attaching a resistance band to a high point like a cabinet door. Here’s how to perform it with proper form:
How to Do RB One Arm Triceps Pushdown (Home)?
- Attach a resistance band above your head level (e.g., to the top of a cabinet door or a high anchor point).
- Stand upright facing the band, and grab the handle or loop with one hand, palm facing down.
- Keep your elbow close to your body and bent at about 90 degrees. Your upper arm should remain still.
- With a strong grip, push the band downward until your arm is fully extended.
- Focus on squeezing the triceps at the bottom of the movement.
- Slowly return to the starting position without letting the band pull your arm too quickly.
- Repeat all reps on one side before switching to the other arm.
What Muscles Does It Work?
- Triceps Brachii: The primary muscle responsible for elbow extension.
- Forearms: Provide grip and wrist stability during the push.
- Shoulder Stabilizers: Assist in keeping upper arm aligned during isolation.
This movement is a must-have for anyone looking to tone and strengthen their arms at home. It's especially great for beginners or those who want a joint-friendly, low-impact option.
