Tutorial

  1. 1
    Start by adjusting the cable to approximately head height or higher and use a straight bar.
  2. 2
    Stand in front of the cable tower, grasp the straight handle with both hands so that you have a good and stable grip. Palms facing downwards. Bend forward slightly with your upper body and hold your arms slightly in front of your torso.
  3. 3
    Now extend your arms fully downwards in a powerful but controlled manner. The upper arms remain in the same position. Exhale and tense the triceps hard.
  4. 4
    Bend the elbows slowly and under full control until the maximum bend in the elbow is reached. Breathe in as you do so.
  5. 5
    One repetition has now been completed. Repeat this process for the specified number of repetitions.
Tip
Be careful not to let the upper arms move outwards and not to use the upper body to push.
The elbow is only extended by the triceps.
