Triceps
Instructions
- Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart and maintain a slight bend in your knees.
- Grasp a cable attachment with an overhand grip and extend your arms overhead.
- Keep your elbows close to your head as you lower the cable attachment behind your head slowly.
- Fully extend your arms overhead again by contracting your triceps muscles.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Advice
- Choose an appropriate weight that challenges your triceps without compromising your form.
- Maintain a stable and upright posture throughout the exercise.
- Engage your core muscles to provide stability during the movement.
- Ensure a smooth and controlled motion when extending and flexing your arms.
- Keep your elbows close to your head and avoid flaring them out.
- Focus on fully extending your arms at the bottom of the movement.
- Squeeze your triceps at the top of the movement for an extra contraction.
- Breathe steadily throughout the exercise, exhaling on the way up and inhaling on the way down.
- Avoid using momentum to swing the cable; rely solely on your triceps to perform the movement.
- Consider using different grip attachments to vary the muscle groups targeted.
