E3 | Tricep Extension (AP Powerband)
| The power band enables a posterior glide effect of the humerus on the ulnar in the elbow joint to help stretch the tissues around the elbow and reduce posterior impingement into extension. Adding on active extension using the triceps further improves glide over the passive version. Works well when the triceps are stronger enough the move the joint into extension. |

Instructions
| First loop the tubing over a top bar or door. Loop the Power band around the bottom of a pole or solid object and under the bench. Put your arm through the band so its just below your elbow and position your elbow off the bench. Start with your elbow bent and then slowly straighten the elbow stretching the tubing using your triceps. |
