Cable Triceps Kickback
How to do it
- Attach a single handle to a low pulley and stand facing away from the machine, holding the handle in one hand with the elbow bent and pinned to your side.
- Hinge forward slightly at the hips and brace your core, keeping the upper arm still and parallel to the floor.
- Extend your forearm straight back until the arm is fully straight, squeezing the triceps at the end of the movement.
- Bend the elbow to return the handle back to the starting position without letting the upper arm drift.
- Exhale as you extend the arm back and inhale as you bend it back in.
- Avoid swinging the shoulder or letting the elbow drop during the extension; keep the upper arm fixed throughout.
