Cross-Body Cable Triceps Extension — triceps isolation exercise in the LIFTAG library

Cross-Body Cable Triceps Extension

Isolation · Weight × reps

Begin with that elbow bent across the front of your body, then straighten it diagonally toward the opposite hip. Avoid turning your torso or pulling with the shoulder to create extra range. Fine-tune pulley height and your distance from the stack so the cable clears your chest; a cuff can reduce grip demands and make the cross-body line easier to maintain.
