Exercise Description

The high pulley overhead tricep extension builds tricep strength and size from a stretched position. It targets all three heads of the tricep for complete arm development.

How To

1. Set the cable pulley to the highest position and grab the rope with both hands 2. Step forward and lean slightly, keeping your upper arms still beside your head 3. Pull the rope down and behind your head in a controlled motion during the high pulley overhead tricep extension 4. Squeeze your triceps at the bottom, then slowly return to the starting position 5. Keep tension on the triceps throughout the entire high pulley overhead tricep extension movement

Form Tips

• Keep your elbows close to your head during the high pulley overhead tricep extension movement • Move only your forearms - your upper arms should stay locked in place • Control the weight on the way up to maximize muscle tension during the high pulley overhead tricep extension • Keep your core tight and maintain good posture throughout the exercise

Common Mistakes

• Letting your elbows flare out wide instead of keeping them close to your head during the high pulley overhead tricep extension • Using your shoulders and back instead of isolating the triceps • Going too fast and losing control of the weight during the high pulley overhead tricep extension movement
