One Resistance Band And Two Exercises For Bigger And Thicker Triceps


ADMIN

Just like learning the basics of mathematics can take you a long way, it's imperative to learn the fundamentals of exercising.  Once well brushed with, you cannot only get better with doing less but also can do various exercises wherever you want with minimum equipment. With this piece I'll be chopping up a killer resistance band- triceps workout that I recently tried while on a trip where I had no access to a gym.

What Will You Need

The only equipment you need here is a resistance band. How much resistance?  Well, that entirely depends upon you. If you are accustomed to lifting heavy on a regular basis, pick the highest resistance. It's usually color coded black. For intermediates, the red one with medium resistance would do. For beginner, picking up the one with the least resistance would work. Usually color coded purple.

Getting It Done 1) The Push-Downs

You already know how triceps push-downs are done on a pulley machine. This isn't any different. Find a spot where you can tie up the band and hold the band from the hanging end like you hold the push-down bar.  Make it a point to maintain tension on the band throughout the movement.

Here's a video:

Try 50-75 repetitions.

2) Reverse Grip Pull-Downs

Now like a no-brainer, when you are done with the above exercise, reverse your grip and start pulling the band straight down. Again, make it a point to maintain the tension throughout the motion.

The point of these exercises is to get a workout done when you really don't have access to equipment. This is also good for a warm-up before hitting heavy weights for triceps.   

Now next time you are out, don't forget your bands!
