STRENGTHENS
TRICEPS
STARTING POSITION
Using the double-rope attachment, face the cable column with your
feet together, knees slightly bent, a natural arch in your lower back, and your
shoulders back and down. Press the rope down so that your arms begin straight
with your hands separated as much as possible. Allow a slight bend in your
wrists in this position (A).
MOVEMENT
Keeping your shoulders anchored down, slowly bend your elbows,
keeping your upper arms perpendicular to the floor (B). EASY
Pause with your elbows bent and forearms just above parallel to
the floor.
Activate your triceps to press the rope down to the starting
position with your hands separated (A). HARD
Why It’s Perfect for
You
This is a great alternative to the previous movement, the Overhead
Rope Extension. This movement has less time under tension but allows for greater
attention on the upper region of your triceps. This option is great if you don’t
love the staggered stance or overhead position of the Overhead Rope Extension or
if you have any shoulder issues.
