The Cable Rope Lying On Floor Tricep Extension is a strength training exercise that targets the triceps muscles in the arms. This exercise is performed using a cable machine with a rope attachment and involves lying on the floor to isolate the triceps.
How to perform
To perform the Cable Rope Lying On Floor Tricep Extension, follow these steps:1. Set up the cable machine with a rope attachment at a low pulley level. Lie on the floor facing away from the cable machine with the rope in hand.
2. Extend your arms straight up and hold the rope with an overhand grip, palms facing down. Your elbows should be close to your head.
3. Keeping your upper arms stationary, slowly lower the rope back towards your head by bending your elbows. Keep your elbows in and close to your head throughout the movement.
4. Pause for a moment at the bottom of the movement, then slowly extend your arms back up to the starting position by straightening your elbows. Ensure that you keep tension on the triceps throughout the movement.
5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, typically 3-4 sets of 10-12 repetitions.
It is important to use proper form and control throughout the exercise to effectively target the triceps muscles. Adjust the weight on the cable machine to a challenging yet manageable level for your fitness level. Consult with a fitness professional if you are unsure about how to perform this exercise safely and effectively.
