Cable Triceps Kickback
Bent over with the upper arm parallel to the floor, straighten the elbow behind you and hold the lockout for a beat.
How to do it
Setup
Hinged over at a low pulley, upper arm parallel to the floor, elbow bent.
Steps
- Straighten the elbow behind the body.
- Hold the straight-arm squeeze.
- Return only the forearm; the elbow never drops.
Common mistakes
Upper arm sagging: parallel or the kickback is gone. Swinging with the shoulder: the elbow is the only hinge. Skipping the top hold: the squeeze is the rep.
Breathing
Exhale extending, inhale returning.
