Cable Standing One-Arm Triceps Extension
The one-arm pushdown on a single handle at a high pulley, standing tall with the free hand behind the back.
How to do it
Setup
Facing a high pulley, the handle in one hand, elbow against the ribs, the free hand behind the lower back.
Steps
- Push the handle down to a straight arm.
- Pause at the bottom with the elbow still.
- Let the handle rise until the forearm passes level; switch arms after the set.
Common mistakes
Leaning over the handle to press it: stand tall; the arm does the work. Elbow drifting forward: keep it against the ribs. Shoulder of the working side dropping: shoulders level.
Breathing
Exhale pressing down, inhale returning.
