WHY YOU SHOULD DO THIS EXERCISE?
One arm overhead triceps extension with resistance bands is a great exercise for those who want to build their triceps and improve their overhead pressing technique. This is an excellent exercise that will help you increase strength in your triceps, build muscle, and help you build a powerful shoulder. That’s great news, because not only are your triceps responsible for the motion of your arm, but they are critical muscles for getting your arms to do things like pull things, bend the elbows, and move your hands—like typing on a keyboard or playing a basketball.
