How to perform

Attach a handle to a cable machine at shoulder height. Stand sideways to the machine, feet shoulder-width apart. Grasp the handle with your working hand, palm down. Start with your upper arm parallel to the floor, elbow bent 90 degrees. Keep your non-working hand stable for balance. Fully extend your arm, straightening it. Pause briefly, contracting your triceps. Slowly return to the starting position. Switch arms after completing the desired repetitions.

Tips

Maintain a stable stance. Keep your upper arm stationary, moving only your forearm. Control the movement throughout. Avoid forceful elbow lockout. Engage your core. Start with a lighter weight. Exhale during extension, inhale during the return.
