iStrivefitness.com - TRICEP OVERHEAD EXTENSION

Required items: Multi-user gym, bench, middle pulley, Triceps rope
Major muscles used: Triceps
Movement: Extension of the elbow joint
Technique: Sitting on a bench facing away from the pulley attachment, hold the ends of the grip attachment making sure that your elbows start at the sides of your face. Only from elbow to hand should move in this exercise, in complete control. To start, pull the rope forward until arms are straight (elbows are not locked) still keeping the upper part of the arm in the same position as starting. Hold, contracting the Triceps muscle and then slowly return to starting position, without letting the cable lose slack, and the weights drop. Repeat. Breathe throughout the entire exercise.
