The Cable Two Arm Tricep Kickback exercise is a variation of the traditional tricep kickback exercise using a cable machine. This exercise targets the triceps, helping to tone and strengthen the back of the arms.
How to perform
To perform the Cable Two Arm Tricep Kickback exercise, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Set up a cable machine with the pulley set to the lowest position and attach a single handle to the cable.
2. Stand facing the machine with your feet hip-width apart and knees slightly bent. Grab the handle with both hands, palms facing in towards your body.
3. Bend your torso forward at the hips, keeping your back straight and core engaged. Your upper arms should be parallel to the floor and elbows bent at a 90-degree angle.
4. Keeping your upper arms stationary, straighten your arms and extend the handle back behind you until your arms are fully extended. Make sure to keep your elbows close to your body throughout the movement.
5. Hold the contraction at the top for a moment, squeezing your triceps, before slowly returning to the starting position.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Tips:
- Focus on using your triceps to move the weight, rather than swinging your arms or using momentum.
- Keep your core engaged and back straight throughout the exercise to maintain proper form and prevent injury.
- Adjust the weight as needed to ensure proper form and challenge your muscles appropriately.

Cable
Cable equipment consists of adjustable pulleys attached to weight stacks that allow for resistance training. This equipment is commonly used for strength training exercises that target various muscle groups in the body, such as chest, back, arms, and legs. Cable equipment provides a versatile and functional way to perform exercises that mimic real-life movements, improving muscle endurance, stability, and coordination.
