Triangle Band Pushdowns

Triangle Band Pushdowns with loops... The band pushdown is a great finishing exercise...this version adds in horizontal resistance while you're doing the pushdown to increase the contraction on the lateral head of the triceps.
This variation is going to add an additional layer of resistance to the exercise.
To do this one, you'll need a single 41 inch training band.
Click here if you need bands.
Hitch it to a high bar or cross beam and let it dangle down.
Kneel down in front of the band (if you need to - you CAN stand if you've hitched it high enough). You're going to simply grip onto the sides of the band with 5-6 inches of band between your hands, forming a triangle.
Take a similar grip on the bands but bring that center band part up a bit on both sides to make a couple of small loops in the band. Basically, you've just folded the band ends up a bit to form the "bulbs" at the ends.
Now you've just made HANDLES for the ends of the bands.
This simple adjustment makes the exercise MUCH better than regular band pushdowns.
Now, as you do the pushdown, stretch that center part of the band, pushing OUTWARDS.
This not only FEELS better, it works better.
Perform this exercise for moderate to high reps, trying to stretch that center part of the band at the bottom of every rep.
That's the money part of the exercise.
This exercise is a great finisher for your tricep workout and can really help improve the lateral head of your triceps, giving them a better "horseshoe" look.

I hope you’re creating new exercises in the same basement for another 40 years. I want my grandchildren to remember the giant CD organizer tower in your basement gym. I’ll never forget the Nilson Curls…like a preacher curl and chin up had a baby.

Right on! I fully intend to be doing this for as long as I possibly can! 40 years sounds good to me :). Funny thing is, I don't even use those CD's... I've got them on MP3 that I connect to my stereo via Bluetooth now!

@@MadScientistOfMuscle Haha I love it, man! It’s like an obscure sculpture at this point that
Great work man I’m glad you’re still doing your thing. Truly a mad scientist 💪
