Low Cable Triceps Extension

Triceps · Cable

How to do it

Lie face up on a seated row bench with a rope attached to the low pulley, head towards the machine. Grip the rope with both hands behind your head and **extend your arms up and forward**, separating your hands at the end; return slowly. Lying down with the cable pulling from behind, the long head works stretched under constant tension. The classic mistake is moving your elbows: they stay anchored pointing at the ceiling.

Variants

The drawing shows one way of doing it, and the technique above describes that one. Almost every exercise has variants — standing or seated, the grip, the bench angle — and is still the same exercise: if you do it another way, write it in the exercise note and you will have it every time you train it.
