Overhead Cable Triceps Extension
Back to the cable stack, arms overhead; extend the forearms from behind the head until the arms are straight.
How to do it
Setup
Back to the stack, cable behind the head, elbows up and forward by the ears; split stance for balance.
Steps
- Extend the forearms forward-up until the arms are straight.
- Keep the elbows in place by the ears.
- Return slowly until the triceps stretch behind the head.
Common mistakes
Elbows flaring wide: keep them tracking forward. Shoulders creeping up: set the blades down before the set. Torso collapsing forward: brace and keep the ribs down.
Breathing
Exhale on the extension, inhale on the stretch.
