About:

This is a great movement to isolate the triceps and help develop the horseshoe shape of the muscle. Some good substitutes for this exercise are: Dumbbell Tricep-Kickbacks or Cable Tricep Kickbacks with rope.

How To:

✓Using an overhead cable pulley, attach single handle grip handle and take hold of it with a reverse grip or palms facing up.

✓Keeping your elbow to your side, straighten your arm until it is fully extended, and flex the triceps at the end of the movement.

✓Keeping your elbow still to your side, allow your hand to come back up until the forearm nears the biceps, feeling the triceps stretch on the negative portion of the movement.

✓Complete your repetitions and then switch over and follow the same instructions for the opposite arm.
