The Cable Rope High Pulley Overhead Tricep Extension is an isolation exercise targeting the triceps brachii. It involves extending the arms overhead while maintaining tension on the triceps using a cable machine with a rope attachment. This exercise emphasizes the long head of the triceps and helps in developing arm strength and muscle definition.

exercise_detail.tips

• Keep your elbows close to your head throughout the movement to maximize tricep engagement.
• Engage your core to maintain stability and prevent arching of the back.
• Use a weight that allows you to perform the exercise with proper form and full range of motion.
• Focus on a slow and controlled movement to increase muscle tension and effectiveness.
• Avoid locking out your elbows at the top of the extension to keep constant tension on the triceps.
• Breathe out as you extend your arms and inhale as you return to the starting position.
