HOW TO DO SINGLE-ARM OVERHEAD CABLE TRICEPS EXTENSION

  1. Attach one handle to a low or mid-height pulley, turn away, and bring the working hand behind your head with the elbow bent.
  2. Use a split stance, brace your ribs over your pelvis, and straighten the elbow so the hand travels forward and overhead.
  3. Keep the upper arm reasonably steady and return only to a controlled stretch.
  4. Avoid arching the lower back, flaring the ribs, or forcing a deep elbow bend that irritates the joint.
