Triceps Overhead Extension With Rope

Perform a triceps extension while holding a rope attachment overhead.

Instructions

• Attach a rope to the high pulley of a cable machine.
• Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, facing away from the machine.
• Grasp the ends of the rope with both hands and extend your arms fully overhead.
• Bend your elbows to lower the rope behind your head.
• Extend your arms back to the starting position by engaging your triceps.
• Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Using too much weight which causes improper form.
• Not fully extending the arms at the top of the movement.
