Primary Muscle: Triceps
Equipment: Cable
Level: Advanced
Purpose: To target the outer/lateral head of the triceps brachii muscle.
Execution: From a seated position on an incline bench, grasp a rope attached to the high pulley cable from overhead. Keeping your elbows locked at your side, press the weight all the way down driving through your triceps. Be sure to squeeze your triceps at the bottom of each rep before allowing the weight to return to its start position. As the weight rises, allow your forearms to come back as high as possible without moving your elbows before pressing down for another repetition.
