Cable Alternate Triceps Extension

Expert Advice

Keep your elbows close to your body and avoid using momentum to ensure maximum triceps engagement.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Stand in front of a cable machine with the pulley set at about shoulder height.
  2. Grab the handle with one hand and step back into a staggered stance.
  3. Keep your elbow fixed at your side and extend your arm fully to engage the tricep.
  4. Slowly return to the starting position while maintaining tension.
  5. Alternate arms after completing the set with one arm.
