Cable Standing Neutral-Grip Overhead Triceps Extension

The overhead extension between two low pulleys, a handle in each hand with the palms facing; the cables come up from behind on both sides.

How to do it

Setup

Standing with the back to two low pulleys in a split stance, a handle in each hand behind the head, palms facing, elbows up.

Steps

Extend both arms to press the handles overhead.
Keep the palms facing and the elbows narrow.
Lower the handles behind the head together.

Common mistakes

One arm finishing before the other: extend both together. Elbows flaring as the handles lower: keep them close to the head. Leaning forward to ease the cables: hold the trunk upright.

Breathing

Inhale lowering, exhale extending.
