Instructions
1. Attach a straight bar or a rope to the high pulley of a cable machine.
2. Lie down on the floor on your back directly under the cable machine, with your head towards the weight stack.
3. Grasp the bar or rope with your hands using a neutral grip (palms facing each other if using a rope, or palms facing down if using a straight bar).
4. Keep your arms bent and close to your sides, so that your forearms are parallel to the floor, which marks the starting position.
5. Exhale and push the bar or the ends of the rope downward by extending your arms fully until your hands are next to your thighs.
6. Pause for a moment at the bottom of the movement with your arms fully extended and the triceps contracted.
7. Inhale and slowly return to the starting position by bending your elbows and controlling the weight on the way back up.
8. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
Make sure to keep your elbows stationary and close to your body throughout the exercise to ensure proper targeting of the triceps. Avoid using excessive weight, which can lead to poor form and potential injury.
