Cable Overhead Triceps Extension

How to do it

Face away from a low pulley, gripping a straight or angled attachment with both hands and stepping out until the arms are extended overhead.
Set a shoulder-width stance and keep the ribs stacked over the hips as the elbows bend to lower the attachment behind the head.
Extend the elbows to drive the attachment back overhead, keeping tension on the triceps throughout the set rather than resting at the top.
Keep the upper arms fixed close to the ears so the work stays isolated at the elbow joint.
Inhale as the attachment lowers, exhale as you extend back to the top.
Common fault: avoid arching the lower back or letting the elbows flare out to the sides.
