Target Muscle

Equipment

1

Start with your elbows bent at a 90-degree angle, keeping your elbows close to your body and your feet shoulder-width apart for stability.

2

Push down the cable bar until your arms are fully extended, focusing on contracting your triceps as you perform the movement.

3

Hold this position for a moment, feeling the tension in your triceps.

4

Slowly return to the starting position, allowing your arms to slowly bend back to a 90-degree angle, and repeat the exercise for your desired number of repetitions.

Pro Tip

Proper Grip: Hold the cable bar with an overhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart. A common mistake is using a too wide or too narrow grip, which can strain your wrists and limit the effectiveness of the exercise. Controlled Movement: Push the cable down by extending your arms and contracting your triceps. Avoid jerky or rapid movements which can lead to injury. The key to getting the most out of this exercise is to control the movement both on the way down and on the way up. Full Range of Motion: Make sure to fully extend your arms at the bottom of the movement, but avoid locking your elbows. On the way up, allow your arms to return to a 90-degree angle. A
