Cable Overhead Triceps Extension

1. 1

   Attach a rope to a low pulley, grab both ends and turn your back to the machine.

2. 2

   Bring the rope behind your head with elbows bent and upper arms beside your ears.

3. 3

   Stagger one foot forward for balance and lean slightly into the movement.

4. 4

   Extend the rope forward and up until the arms are fully straight.

5. 5

   Return slowly until the triceps feel stretched, then repeat.

• Dropping the upper arms so it turns into a chest press.

• Arching the lower back because there is no support.

• Standing too close so the rope rubs your neck.

• The cable keeps tension in the stretched position, that is the whole advantage.

• Sets of 10-15 feel much better here than heavy low-rep work.
