Description

Tricep presses on the cable tower with a V-grip is an exercise to train the triceps in isolation. The V-grip provides a comfortable grip.

Exercise

Triceps press

With V-handle

Type: Bilateral Rest: 120s Equipment: Kabelzug

Tutorial

1

Start by adjusting the cable to about head height or higher and use a V-handle attachment.
2

Stand in front of the cable tower, grasp the V-handle attachment with both hands in an overhand grip (palms facing diagonally downwards/inside). Bend forward slightly with your upper body and hold your arms slightly in front of your upper body.
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

Bend the elbows slowly and under full control until the maximum bend in the elbow is reached. Breathe in as you do so.
5

One repetition has now been completed. Repeat this process for the specified number of repetitions.

Tip

Make sure that your upper arms do not move outwards and that you do not use your upper body to push. Always keep your upper body straight throughout the exercise. The elbow is only extended by the triceps muscles.
