Cable Incline Triceps Extension Guide

Main Muscle: Triceps

  1. Lie on incline an bench facing away from a high pulley machine that has a straight bar attachment on it.
  2. Grasp the straight bar attachment overhead with a pronated (overhand; palms down) narrow grip (less than shoulder width) and keep your elbows tucked in to your sides. Your upper arms should create around a 25 degree angle when measured from the floor.
  3. Keeping the upper arms stationary, extend the arms as you flex the triceps. Breathe out during this portion of the movement and hold the contraction for a second.
  4. Slowly go back to the starting position.
  5. Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

Variations: You can also use an angled attachment or a rope attachment as well. Finally, you can perform one arm at a time by using a single handle attachment.

Review: Cable Incline Triceps Extension

Exercise Rating
6/10

Mar 1, 2011 10:40 AM: It seems that the weight is only used for 1/3 of the entire movement.
(just watch how the stack only moves for a small part of the whole movement)
Still a very effective way to up the amount of weight you can handle
