Cable Incline Triceps Extension

Build triceps strength using an incline cable setup for constant resistance.

This incline variation helps FitnessTracker users better isolate the triceps with minimal shoulder movement. The incline angle increases the stretch at the bottom of the range and keeps tension on the triceps throughout.

Instructions

  1. Position an incline bench facing away from a high cable pulley with a straight bar attachment.
  2. Lie back on the bench and grasp the bar with an overhand grip narrower than shoulder width.
  3. With elbows tucked in, extend your arms forward so the bar is near your forehead or just past your eyes.
  4. Bend your elbows to lower the bar in an arc over your head, maintaining elbow position.
  5. Extend the arms again using the triceps to return to the starting position.
  6. Repeat for the prescribed reps, avoiding elbow flare or shoulder movement.
