Cable Rope High Pulley Overhead Tricep Extension
The leaning overhead extension on a rope from a high pulley; the neutral grip lets the elbows stay narrow.
How to do it
Setup
Back to a high pulley, staggered stance, leaning forward, the rope ends held neutral behind the head, elbows by the ears.
Steps
- Extend the rope forward until the arms are straight in line with the body.
- Keep the elbows pointing ahead, close to the head.
- Let the rope return behind the head for the stretch.
Common mistakes
Elbows dropping as the rope goes forward: keep them high by the ears; only the forearms move. Leaning further forward to finish: hold the lean you set. Letting the rope yank the hands back: control the stretch.
Breathing
Exhale on the extension, inhale on the stretch.
