Suspender Triceps Extension Push Up
Description
The suspender triceps extension push up uses a suspension trainer with the body angled forward and the elbows pinned overhead. The lifter lowers the body into a triceps extension position then presses up to lock out. The strap tension builds triceps strength while the chest assists.
