Instructions
- Stand in front of a cable machine with your feet shoulder-width apart.
- Grasp the cable handle with one hand, palms facing down, and lift it up to shoulder height.
- Keep your elbow tucked in close to your body and your upper arm stationary throughout the exercise.
- Take a step to the side to create tension in the cable.
- Extend your arm down towards your side, fully straightening your elbow, while keeping your upper arm still.
- Pause momentarily at the bottom of the movement.
- Slowly return to the starting position by bending your elbow and allowing your forearm to move upward.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and then switch arms.
Advice
- Focus on maintaining a strong and stable core throughout the exercise.
- Engage your triceps by fully extending your arm to effectively target the muscle.
- As you lift the cable, concentrate on squeezing your triceps at the top of the movement.
- Keep your elbow stationary and close to your body to isolate the triceps.
- Perform the exercise in a slow and controlled manner to maximize muscle engagement.
- Ensure that your grip is secure on the handle to maintain proper form and prevent injury.
- Remember to breathe properly throughout the movement to maintain oxygen flow to your muscles.
- Gradually increase the resistance as you get stronger to continue challenging your triceps.
- Stay consistent with your workouts and incorporate a variety of tricep exercises for balanced development.
- Give yourself adequate rest between sets to allow your muscles to recover and prevent overexertion.
