How to perform

Attach a bar to a high pulley cable. Stand facing the machine, feet shoulder-width apart, using an underhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart. Keep elbows close to your sides and upper arms stationary. Extend your arms downward, fully contracting your triceps. Pause briefly, then slowly return to the starting position with control.

Tips

Maintain a slight bend in your knees for stability. Keep elbows tucked in and stationary. Avoid momentum; control the movement. Exhale on extension, inhale on return. Start with a lighter weight to ensure proper form.
