Primary Muscle: Triceps
Equipment: Cable
Level: Beginner
Purpose: To target the outer/lateral head of the triceps brachii muscle.
Execution: Standing with your feet shoulder width apart, grasp a rope attached to a high pulley with a neutral grip (hands facing each other). Push the weight down driving through your elbows while keeping them locked at your side. Drive the weight all the way down just to the point before locking out your elbows. Squeeze your triceps at the bottom of each rep before slowly allowing the bar to rise as you resist it. Keep your wrists straight throughout the exercise. Exhale on the way down and inhale on the way up.
