Cable Kneeling Triceps Extension
The overhead cable extension from the knees, facing away from a high pulley; kneeling takes the legs out and makes the trunk brace.
How to do it
Setup
Kneeling, back to a high pulley, slight forward lean, the attachment behind the head.
Steps
- Extend the arms forward until they are straight.
- Keep the elbows high by the ears.
- Return slowly into the stretch behind the head.
Common mistakes
Sitting back on the heels: kneel tall, hips over the knees. Elbows dropping as the arms extend: keep them level. Using the lean to move the weight: the torso holds its angle.
Breathing
Exhale on the extension, inhale on the stretch.
