Machine Triceps Extension
Seated with the upper arms fixed, straighten the arms against the pads; the machine holds the elbow still for you.
How to do it
Setup
Seated, upper arms fixed on the pad, hands on the levers.
Steps
- Straighten the arms against the pads.
- Squeeze at lockout.
- Return under control to the deep bend.
Common mistakes
Armpits lifting off: the fixed upper arm IS the machine's gift; sit right. Rushing lockouts: pause straight. Letting the stack yank the return: resist it.
Breathing
Exhale extending, inhale returning.
