  4. Exhale and extend your arms fully, pushing the handles down until your arms are straight.

Triceps Extension Machine Tips

  1. Adjust the seat height so that your upper arms are parallel to the floor, ensuring proper alignment.
  2. Grasp the handles with an overhand grip, keeping your elbows close to your sides throughout the movement.
  3. Extend your arms fully, focusing on squeezing your triceps at the top of the movement for maximum contraction.
  4. Keep your core engaged and maintain a stable posture, avoiding excessive swinging or using momentum to lift the weight.
  5. Control the weight as you lower it back down, emphasizing the eccentric phase to further engage your triceps.
  6. Start with a weight that allows you to perform 10-12 reps with proper form, gradually increasing the resistance as you progress.
