Cable Standing Reverse Grip One Arm Overhead Tricep Extension

How to perform

To perform the Cable Standing Reverse Grip One Arm Overhead Tricep Extension, follow these steps:

1. Attach a single grip handle to a low pulley cable machine.
2. Stand facing away from the machine with your feet shoulder-width apart.
3. Grab the handle with an underhand (reverse) grip with one hand.
4. Raise your arm overhead so that it is slightly behind your head, keeping your elbow close to your ear.
5. Keep your core engaged and back straight throughout the exercise.
6. Slowly lower the handle down behind your head, bending at the elbow, until your forearm is parallel to the ground or slightly past 90 degrees.
7. Engage your tricep muscles to extend your arm back up to the starting position.
8. Repeat for the desired number of reps on one arm before switching sides.

It is important to use a weight that challenges you but allows you to maintain proper form throughout the exercise. It is also important to perform the movement in a controlled manner to prevent injury and effectively target the triceps muscles.
