Cable Standing Crossover Overhead Tricep Extension
Facing away from two low pulleys in a split stance, the handles behind the head are pressed overhead and spread into a V as the arms straighten.
How to do it
Setup
Back to a crossover, cables from both low pulleys, a handle in each hand behind the head, elbows up, split stance.
Steps
- Straighten the arms overhead, letting the hands spread into a V.
- Keep the elbows high and the ribs down.
- Bend the elbows to bring the handles back behind the head.
Common mistakes
Elbows flaring as the handles return: keep them pointing up. Arching the lower back to finish: brace and squeeze the glutes. Keeping the hands together: they spread at the top; that is the variant.
Breathing
Exhale on the extension, inhale on the stretch.
