How to do a cable lying triceps extension(low)

Setup:

1. Bench and Cable Machine: Lie on a bench facing away from a low-pulley cable machine. Your head should be closer to the machine, and the cable should run between your legs and under the bench.
2. Attachment: Attach a straight bar or EZ-bar to the low pulley.
3. Grip: Grasp the attachment with an overhand grip (palms facing away from you).
4. Starting Position: Extend your arms straight up overhead so they are perpendicular to the floor.

The Lift:

1. Lower the Bar: Inhale and slowly bend your elbows, lowering the attachment towards your forehead. Keep your upper arms stationary and perpendicular to the floor.
2. Touch and Pause (Optional): You can lightly touch the attachment to your forehead, but this isn't mandatory.
3. Extend Upward: Exhale and extend your elbows to press the attachment back to the starting position. Avoid locking out your elbows.

Tips:

• Elbow Position: Keep your elbows pointing towards the ceiling throughout the movement.
• Slow and Controlled: Focus on using your triceps to move the weight, not momentum.
• Range of Motion: If you feel any discomfort in your elbows or shoulders, reduce the range of motion by not lowering the attachment as far.

Variations:

• Rope Attachment: Use a rope attachment instead of a bar to change the angle of resistance and isolate the triceps differently.
