TRICEPS

Cable One Arm Tricep Side Extension

IntermediateCable

A single-arm cable extension that isolates the triceps from an unusual angle, working the muscle across your body rather than straight overhead or down. Training one arm at a time removes the chance of a stronger side taking over. The off-center pull also makes your core work to keep you from twisting.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Stand beside the cable machine, positioned slightly behind the line of the cable.

  2. 2

    Reach up and across with the arm farthest from the stack and take the handle, palm facing you.

  3. 3

    Keeping that elbow fixed at your side, contract the triceps to pull the handle down and across your body.

  4. 4

    Hold for a beat at the bottom of the range.

  5. 5

    Ease the weight back up slowly while keeping tension on the triceps.

  6. 6

    Stay tall with your core braced and shoulders back, resisting any urge to rotate.
