Exercise Description

The seated low pulley overhead tricep extension (rope extension) builds strong, defined triceps. This move hits all three tricep heads for complete arm development.

How To

1. Set the cable pulley at the lowest position and attach a rope handle. 2. Sit facing away from the machine, grab the rope with both hands behind your head. 3. Keep your upper arms still and extend your forearms up and slightly forward. 4. Squeeze your triceps at the top of the seated low pulley overhead tricep extension movement. 5. Lower the rope back to starting position with control.

Form Tips

• Keep your core tight and back straight throughout the seated low pulley overhead tricep extension • Only move your forearms - your upper arms stay locked in place • Pull the rope slightly apart at the top for maximum tricep squeeze • Control the weight on the way down - don't let it drop

Common Mistakes

• Moving your upper arms during the seated low pulley overhead tricep extension reduces tricep activation • Using too much weight and swinging your body for momentum • Not going through full range of motion at the top and bottom
