Exercise Description

The one arm cable extension targets your triceps with single-arm focus. It builds arm strength while improving muscle balance between your left and right sides.

How To

1. Set the cable machine to chest height and grab the handle with one hand 2. Step back until your arm is fully extended and you feel tension in the cable 3. Keep your elbow locked at your side and push the handle down toward your hip 4. Squeeze your triceps at the bottom, then slowly return to start for your one arm cable extension 5. Complete all reps on one side before switching to the other arm

Form Tips

• Keep your elbow glued to your side throughout the entire one arm cable extension movement • Focus on slow, controlled reps rather than using momentum or swinging • Keep your core tight and stand tall with good posture during each rep • Make sure you feel the stretch at the top and squeeze at the bottom of each one arm cable extension

Common Mistakes

• Letting your elbow drift away from your body during the one arm cable extension motion • Using too much weight and compensating with your shoulder or back muscles • Rushing through reps instead of controlling the weight on both the push and return phases
