Form tips
Avoid the mistake of using momentum to swing the band back. This not only reduces the effectiveness of the exercise but also increases the risk of injury. Make sure to perform the exercise using a controlled, steady movement. The focus should be on the contraction and extension of the triceps, not on the movement of the band.
The resistance band should have enough tension to challenge your muscles throughout the movement. If the band is too loose, it won't provide enough resistance to effectively work your triceps. Conversely, if the band is too tight, it could lead to strain or injury.
