How to perform

Adjust the weight so you can do at least ten smooth repetitions, grab the rope on the cable station, and take a step back.Stand tall by bringing your shoulders back and directing your gaze forward. Your feet should be around hip-width apart, with your toes pointed slightly out. Keep your knees slightly bent.With your elbows bent at roughly 90 degrees, bring them down to your sides.Take a breath and extend both elbows by engaging your triceps.Once your arms are straight, hold the contraction for a second, exhale, and slowly release until your elbows are bent, and your wrists are slightly more elevated than your elbows.Inhale and repeat.

Tips

Focus on form & control. Use a weight you can press for 12–15 smooth, full-range reps.Set a strong upper body. Keep your shoulders retracted and chest up for stability and proper elbow position.Use full extension. Start with wrists above elbows, fully straighten arms, and hold the contraction briefly.Spread the rope at the bottom. Separate your hands as you press down to hit the triceps more effectively.
