Exercise Description

The cable tricep extension with v bar builds bigger, stronger triceps. It hits all three tricep heads with steady tension throughout the movement.

How To

1. Set the cable machine high with a V bar attachment. Stand facing the machine. 2. Grab the V bar with both hands, palms facing down. Keep your elbows at your sides. 3. Start with your forearms parallel to the floor. This is your starting position for cable tricep extension with v bar. 4. Push the bar down by extending your elbows. Keep your upper arms still. Squeeze your triceps at the bottom. 5. Slowly return to start position. Control the weight up. Repeat for your target reps.

Form Tips

• Keep your elbows glued to your sides during cable tricep extension with v bar. Don't let them flare out. • Use a full range of motion. Go from 90 degrees to full extension. • Control the weight on the way up. Don't let it snap back. • Stand tall with your core tight. Don't lean forward or rock your body.

Common Mistakes

• Using your shoulders and swinging the weight instead of isolating triceps during cable tricep extension with v bar. • Letting your elbows drift forward or flare out to the sides. • Going too heavy and using partial reps instead of full range of motion.
