Machine Triceps Extension

Triceps · Machine

How to do it

Set the seat so your elbow sits on the machine's pivot. Extend and return under control without lifting your arms off the pad. Like any arm machine, its value is letting you go to clean failure at the end of a session. You feel the triceps isolated.

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.
