Overhead Triceps Extension With Bed Sheet

Stand with your back facing a secure anchor point (such as a door or sturdy overhead support) and hold both ends of a bed sheet with your hands. Step forward slightly to create tension in the sheet and raise your arms overhead so they are fully extended. Keeping your elbows close to your head and pointing forward, slowly bend your elbows to lower your hands behind your head in a controlled motion. Go down until your forearms are near parallel or you feel a strong stretch in the triceps. Pause briefly at the bottom, then press through your triceps to extend your arms back overhead, fully straightening them at the top. Maintain a tight core and neutral spine throughout the movement to avoid arching your lower back. Repeat for the desired reps with slow, controlled form.
