Lying Triceps Extension (Cable)

Also known as: Lying Triceps Extension (Cable).

A lying triceps extension with a short cable bar.

How to perform this exercise

1. Place a flat bench with its head end near a cable column and set the pulley around head height when lying on the bench. Lie with head, back and pelvis supported, feet grounded and both hands overhand on a short bar. Start with upper arms raised and elbows bent so the bar is near the forehead with clearance.
2. Extend the elbows to move the bar up and away from the head while the upper arms remain steady, then return slowly without letting the cable or bar touch the face.
