Step forward to create tension on the cable, leaning slightly forward from the hips and keeping your back straight. Your feet should be shoulder-width apart and your elbows should be close to your head.
Begin the exercise by extending your arms straight up, pulling the rope ends apart at the top of the movement while keeping your elbows stationary.
Hold the position for a second as you fully extend your arms, squeezing your triceps.
Slowly lower the rope back to the starting position, controlling the movement with your triceps and not letting the weight stack touch in between reps.
Pro Tip
**Controlled Movement:** Avoid using momentum to lift the weights. Instead, use a slow and controlled movement. This will ensure that your triceps are doing the work and not your back or shoulders. A common mistake is to rush through the exercise, which can lead to poor form and potential injury. **Right Weight:** Use a weight that allows you to complete the desired number of repetitions while maintaining proper form. If the weight is too heavy, you may strain your muscles or compromise your form, leading to ineffective results or injury
