Cable Triceps Kickback

How to do it

  1. 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.
  2. Hinge forward slightly at the hips and brace your core, keeping the upper arm still and parallel to the floor.
  3. Extend your forearm straight back until the arm is fully straight, squeezing the triceps at the end of the movement.
  4. Bend the elbow to return the handle back to the starting position without letting the upper arm drift.
  5. Exhale as you extend the arm back and inhale as you bend it back in.
  6. Avoid swinging the shoulder or letting the elbow drop during the extension; keep the upper arm fixed throughout.
