Cable Rope Overhead Triceps Extension

Isolate your triceps using overhead cable resistance and a rope attachment.

To maximize triceps size, especially in the long head, FitnessTracker users should include overhead work like this rope extension. It challenges the muscle through its fully lengthened position and helps improve lockout strength.

Instructions

  1. Attach a rope to the bottom of a pulley machine and face away from it.
  2. Grasp the rope and extend your arms overhead so your elbows are close to your ears and knuckles face the ceiling.
  3. Keeping your upper arms stationary, lower the rope behind your head by bending at the elbows.
  4. Pause when your triceps are fully stretched, then extend your arms to return to the top.
  5. Repeat the motion for your desired number of reps.
