Movement instructions
For this exercise anchor a band to the ground. We used an incline bench and anchored the band to the base, standing over the bench. Alternatively, this could be performed standing on the band.
To begin, pull the band behind your head, holding it with a pronated grip and your elbows up. This will be your starting position.
To perform the movement, extend through the elbow to to straighten your arms, ensuring that you keep your upper arm in place.
Pause, and then return to the starting position.

Your progress
Keep the same bands setup, range of motion and recording method when comparing Speed Band Overhead Triceps sessions.
Weight, repetitions and completed sets.
Example: 3 sets of 8 reps at 30 kg. Next time, record the actual result, even if it is the same.
Look for more repetitions at the same weight, or a heavier weight for comparable repetitions. Total weight lifted also changes when you add sets, so it is not a strength score.
