Cable Lying Triceps Extension
How to do it
- Lie on a bench positioned so the low pulley is behind the head, gripping the attachment with both hands and arms extended toward the ceiling.
- Keep the upper arms stationary as you bend the elbows to lower the attachment toward the forehead.
- Extend the elbows to press the attachment back up, working the triceps brachii through the full range.
- Brace the core to keep the ribs down and the lower back flat against the bench throughout.
- Inhale as you lower, exhale as you press back to the starting position.
- Common fault: avoid letting the elbows splay outward or the hips rise off the bench.
