TRX Triceps Extension

This exercise targets the triceps brachii using a suspension trainer, focusing on elbow extension for upper arm development and strength.

How to do it

1. Stand facing away from the anchor point, holding the TRX handles with an overhand grip, palms facing down.
2. Lean forward, extending your arms straight out in front of you at shoulder height, creating tension in the straps.
3. Keeping your elbows high and fixed, bend them to lower your body by letting your hands move towards your temples.
4. Extend your elbows forcefully to push your body back to the starting position, squeezing your triceps.
5. Maintain a rigid plank position throughout the movement, engaging your core and glutes.

Tips

• Adjust your body angle to increase or decrease difficulty; the more horizontal, the harder the exercise.
• Keep your elbows pointing forward and high to maximize triceps isolation and minimize shoulder involvement.
• Control the eccentric (lowering) phase for better muscle engagement and growth.
