Cable Rope Incline Tricep Extension
The incline cable extension on a rope; the neutral grip spares the wrists and the ends can part at the top.
How to do it
Setup
Incline bench, head toward a low pulley, the rope held above the head, palms facing.
Steps
- Lower the rope behind the head by bending the elbows.
- Extend, parting the ends as the arms straighten.
- Return slowly, elbows pointing up.
Common mistakes
Rope ends hitting the head at the bottom: stop a hand's width short. Elbows flaring as the ends part: part the hands, not the elbows. Shoulders joining in: the upper arms stay still.
Breathing
Inhale lowering, exhale extending.
