The Cable Concentration Extension (On Knee) exercise is a strength training exercise that targets the triceps muscles. It involves using a cable machine to perform a single-arm tricep extension while kneeling on the ground.
How to perform
To perform the Cable Concentration Extension (On Knee) exercise, follow these steps:1. Adjust the cable machine so that the pulley is positioned at the lowest setting. Attach a single handle attachment to the cable.
2. Place a bench or mat on the ground and kneel behind it. Position the bench or mat close to the cable machine so that you can easily grab the handle.
3. Grab the handle with one hand and bring it overhead, keeping your elbow close to your head and your upper arm perpendicular to the ground. Your palm should be facing down.
4. Slowly extend your arm until it is fully straightened, squeezing your triceps at the top of the movement.
5. Slowly lower the weight back to the starting position, keeping your elbow stationary throughout the movement.
6. Perform the desired number of repetitions on one arm before switching to the other arm.
7. Remember to keep your core engaged and your back straight throughout the exercise to maintain proper form and prevent injury.
The Cable Concentration Extension (On Knee) exercise is a great way to isolate and strengthen the triceps muscles, helping to improve overall arm strength and definition.
