Cable One-Arm High Pulley Overhead Tricep Extension

The overhead cable extension one arm at a time, facing away from a high pulley with a single handle; each arm finds its own line.

How to do it

Setup

Back to a high pulley, staggered stance, one handle held behind the head, elbow up by the ear.

Steps

Extend the arm forward and up until it is straight.
Keep the elbow high and still; only the forearm moves.
Return until the hand is behind the head; finish the side, then switch.

Common mistakes

Elbow drifting out to the side: keep it pointing forward. Twisting toward the working arm: square the hips and shoulders. Weak side left for last: start with it.

Breathing

Exhale on the extension, inhale on the stretch.
