Exercise Description

The one arm standing overhead cable tricep extension isolates each tricep individually for better muscle balance. It builds stronger, more defined arms while fixing strength gaps.

How To

1. Set cable pulley to lowest position and attach single handle. Stand facing away from machine, grab handle with one hand. 2. Step forward to create tension. Raise your working arm overhead so your upper arm is vertical and elbow points forward. 3. Keep your elbow locked in place. This is your starting position for the one arm standing overhead cable tricep extension. 4. Extend your forearm by straightening your elbow. Squeeze your tricep hard at the top. Your upper arm stays completely still. 5. Slowly lower back to start position. Complete all reps on one side before switching arms for the one arm standing overhead cable tricep extension.

Form Tips

• Keep your core tight and don't arch your back during the one arm standing overhead cable tricep extension • Your elbow stays locked in place - only your forearm should move throughout the entire movement • Use a full range of motion but don't let the weight stack touch between reps • Keep constant tension on the cable during the one arm standing overhead cable tricep extension

Common Mistakes

• Moving your elbow during the one arm standing overhead cable tricep extension - this turns it into a shoulder exercise instead • Using too much weight and compensating with your back or shoulder muscles • Rushing the movement during the one arm standing overhead cable tricep extension instead of controlling both up and down phases
