To perform a cable triceps extension,
Amanda's going to face the cable stack
with her feet about hip-width apart,
knees slightly soft. She's going to grab
the handle of the rope and she's going
to pull it down so her elbows are right
by her side, shoulder blades back and
down,
ribs are over hips and she's going to
pull the rope down by extending her arms,
squeezing her triceps at the bottom and
then controlling the weight back up, good.
Give us a couple reps. You'll notice her
elbows aren't shifting away from her
body, they're kind of locked in by her
side and she's isolating the triceps by
extending the arms and keeping the rest
of her upper body quite stable.
One more good squeeze at the bottom,
perfect, and this can also be done using
a straight bar if you don't have access
to a rope.
