Overhead Triceps Extension

How to perform

Face away from a low or mid pulley with a rope attachment held overhead behind your head. Step forward into a split stance and lean slightly forward. Keep your elbows pointing forward and close together. Extend your arms fully overhead, then lower under control until you feel a strong stretch. The overhead position loads the long head of the triceps in a stretched position, which the pushdown does not. Common mistakes: flaring the elbows out wide, and using so much weight that the lower back arches.
