Exercise Description

The incline bench rope extension targets your triceps from a stretched position. This builds bigger, stronger arms while reducing shoulder stress.

How To

1. Set an incline bench at 45 degrees behind a cable machine with rope attachment at low pulley 2. Lie face up on the bench, grab the rope with both hands using neutral grip 3. Start with arms extended overhead, rope behind your head for a good tricep stretch 4. Keep your upper arms still and extend the rope up by straightening your elbows during the incline bench rope extension 5. Slowly lower back to start position, feeling the stretch in your triceps

Form Tips

• Keep your upper arms locked in position throughout the entire incline bench rope extension movement • Focus on the stretch at the bottom - this is where the magic happens for your triceps • Pull the rope apart slightly at the top of each rep during your incline bench rope extension • Control the weight down slowly, taking 2-3 seconds on the way down

Common Mistakes

• Moving your upper arms during the incline bench rope extension instead of keeping them fixed overhead • Using too much weight and losing the stretch at the bottom position • Rushing through the reps during incline bench rope extension without controlling the negative
