Pulley Triceps Extension Overhead

Video coming soon...

The pulley triceps extension overhead workout is designed to primarily engage the triceps muscles.

The pulley acts as a resistance mechanism, allowing for controlled movement and targeting of the triceps.

By keeping the elbows close to the body and extending the arms, the triceps are isolated and activated.

While the pulley may engage some auxiliary muscles, its main role is to focus on the triceps for maximum effectiveness.

Stand facing away from the pulley machine, feet shoulder-width apart, and grasp the rope attachment with an overhand grip.
Extend your arms straight overhead, keeping your elbows close to your head and your palms facing forward.
Engage your core and maintain a slight bend in your knees throughout the exercise.
While keeping your upper arms stationary, slowly lower the rope behind your head by bending your elbows.
Pause briefly at the bottom of the movement, feeling a stretch in your triceps.
Extend your arms back to the starting position by straightening your elbows, squeezing your triceps at the top.
Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions.

Position yourself in front of the pulley machine, ensuring that your feet are shoulder-width apart and firmly planted on the ground. Maintain a slight bend in your knees to engage your core and stabilize your body throughout the exercise.
Grasp the pulley bar with an overhand grip, keeping your hands shoulder-width apart. Your palms should be facing down, and your elbows should be slightly bent. This starting position allows for optimal activation of your triceps muscles.
As you begin the exercise, exhale and extend your arms straight overhead, focusing on contracting your triceps. Keep your upper arms close to your head and avoid any swinging or jerking motions. This controlled movement will maximize the tension on your triceps and enhance muscle engagement.
Pause briefly at the top of the movement, squeezing your triceps to intensify the contraction. Feel the burn in your triceps as you maintain this position for a second or two, before slowly returning to the starting position.
Throughout the exercise, it is crucial to maintain proper form and avoid any excessive arching or bending of your back. Engage your core muscles to stabilize your spine and prevent any unnecessary strain. Remember, quality over quantity! Focus on executing each repetition with precision and control to achieve the best results.
