How to Do It

Hold band in left hand behind your back and grasp the other end of band in the right hand. Begin with arm straight up over head, palm facing out. Slowly lower arm to 90 degrees until forearm is behind the head. Squeezing the triceps, straighten arm without locking it. Your left arm stays stable and provides the resistance by pulling the resistance band tight. Make sure your elbow is stable and doesn't move throughout the movement. Repeat for 12-16 reps and switch arms for a total of 1-3 sets with each arm.

This exercise works the triceps.
