Standing Overhead Cable Extensions

Instructions

• Stand with your back facing a cable machine. The triceps bar should be attached to the upper pulley.
• Grab the triceps bar. Keep one foot forward and one behind for support, then lean forward.
• The starting position has your elbows bent at 90 degrees, pointing straight forward, with the bar above your head.
• Slowly extend your elbows until your arms are straight. Try not to move your upper arms, just extend the elbows.
• Hold for 2 seconds, contracting triceps muscles, then slowly return to starting position.

Tips

• Be careful not to hit your head with the cable when doing this exercise. You should use light weight and focus on the triceps contraction.
