The Cable Rope High Pulley Overhead Tricep Extension is a strength training exercise that targets the tricep muscles in the arms. This exercise is typically performed using a cable machine with a rope attachment.
How to perform
To perform the Cable Rope High Pulley Overhead Tricep Extension, follow these steps:1. Adjust the cable machine so that the pulley is set at the highest position.
2. Attach a rope handle to the pulley.
3. Stand facing away from the machine with your feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent.
4. Grab the rope handle with both hands and extend your arms straight overhead, keeping your elbows close to your ears.
5. Engage your core and keep your back straight throughout the exercise.
6. Slowly lower the rope handle behind your head, bending at the elbows to lower the weight.
7. Pause once your forearms are parallel to the ground.
8. Using your triceps, extend your arms back to the starting position.
9. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
It is important to use a controlled motion and avoid swinging or using momentum to lift the weight. Start with a lighter weight and gradually increase the resistance as you build strength. As with any exercise, it is important to maintain proper form to avoid injury.
Equipment required
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.
