Anchor the band to a high point over your head and grab the band itself (no handle attached) in one hand. Position your body so that your non-working side is closer to the anchor point and you're standing sideways to the anchor. Start with your working arm bent, forearm parallel with the floor and up against your torso, and elbow in tight at your side. Keeping your upper arm stationary, contract your triceps to extend your elbow so that at the end of the rep your arm is fully extended down at your side. Squeeze the contraction, then slowly return to the start position. Complete all reps with that arm, then switch arms.

A.K.A. One-Arm Dumbbell Cross Body Lying Triceps Extension
TART: Lie on a flat bench and hold a dumbbell in your right hand, with an overhand grip. Extend your arm so the dumbbell is straight your right shoulder.
MOVE: Without letting your upper arm move, bend at the elbow to bring the dumbbell down across your body toward the left shoulder. Stop when your elbow reaches 90 degrees and reverse the motion to bring the dumbbell back up to full arm extension. Complete as many reps as desired then repeat on the left arm.
