Active Lifestyle
Consult your physician before starting any diet and/or exercise plan.Muscles Worked
Upper Arms (back) or Triceps
Position and Movement
Using a high pulley, attach a straight short or cambered bar to a cable. Square your body with the pulley and keep your feet shoulder width apart. Using a manageable weight, push the weight downward in a controlled manner until your arms are almost fully extended. Squeeze at the bottom, and then return the weight slowly back to the starting position.
Tip
Keep your elbows as stationary as possible while performing this exercise. If your elbows flare out while pushing down or move forward while letting the weight back up, you won't target the
appropriate muscles.
