The Cable Standing One Arm Triceps Extension is a strength training exercise that primarily targets the triceps muscles. It involves using a cable machine with a single handle attachment to perform a single arm extension.
How to perform
To perform the Cable Standing One Arm Triceps Extension, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Adjust the cable pulley to the lowest setting and attach a single handle to the cable.
2. Grab the handle with one hand, facing away from the cable machine.
3. Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart, ensuring that your core is engaged and your back is straight.
4. Position your arm close to your body with your elbow bent at a 90-degree angle.
5. Slowly extend your arm downwards, straightening your elbow while keeping your upper arm stationary.
6. Hold the contraction at the bottom of the movement for a brief moment, then slowly return to the starting position.
7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching to the other arm.
It is important to maintain proper form throughout the exercise to avoid injury and effectively target the triceps. Start with a light weight to ensure you can perform the movement with control and gradually increase the weight as you become more comfortable with the exercise. As always, consult with a fitness professional before beginning any new exercise routine.
