Exercise Description

The standing two arm tricep cable extension builds bigger, stronger triceps while keeping constant tension on the muscle. It's perfect for adding mass to the back of your arms.

How To

1. Set the cable machine to the highest setting and attach a rope or straight bar handle. 2. Stand facing the machine, grab the handle with both hands, and step back to create tension in the standing two arm tricep cable extension starting position. 3. Keep your elbows tucked at your sides and push the handle down by extending your arms fully. 4. Squeeze your triceps hard at the bottom of the standing two arm tricep cable extension movement. 5. Slowly return to the starting position with control, feeling the stretch in your triceps.

Form Tips

• Keep your elbows glued to your sides throughout the entire standing two arm tricep cable extension movement • Focus on squeezing your triceps at the bottom rather than just moving the weight • Use a controlled tempo - don't let the weight snap back up during your standing two arm tricep cable extension • Keep your core tight and avoid leaning forward or backward

Common Mistakes

• Using your shoulders and back instead of isolating the triceps during the standing two arm tricep cable extension • Letting your elbows flare out to the sides, which reduces tricep activation in the standing two arm tricep cable extension • Using too much weight and losing proper form throughout the range of motion
