This exercise strengthens the triceps and is another movement that can be done in sitting or standing position. With your tubing held in one hand behind your back (see figure 4.6), start with the other arm overhead, elbow bent, and hand behind your head, holding the other end of the tubing (or weight). Straighten the elbow to bring the weight up over your shoulder, and then return to the starting position. Repeat with the other arm. As with the biceps curl, keep your upper arm stationary throughout the exercise.
