Cable Overhead Tricep Extension Straight Bar

Expert Advice

Keep your elbows stationary and pointed forward to isolate the triceps and prevent other muscles from taking over the movement.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Attach a straight bar to a high pulley and grasp it with an overhand grip.
  2. Step forward to create tension on the cable, and bend forward slightly at the waist.
  3. Extend your arms overhead, keeping your elbows close to your head.
  4. Lower the bar by bending your elbows, keeping the upper arms stationary.
  5. Extend your arms back to the starting position, contracting your triceps.
  6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
