Cable Rope Overhead Triceps Extension

Triceps · Cable

How to do it

Cable with a rope, standing with your back to the tower and a step forward, torso leaning slightly, arms overhead. Extend forward keeping the elbows high and still. It is the best combination there is for triceps: **long head stretched plus constant tension**. You feel a strong pull behind the arm in the back half of the range. The elbows do not flare.

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.
