How to perform
- 1
Adjust the machine for proper fit, including seat height and pad position, to ensure your elbows align correctly with the pivot point.
- 2
Grip the handles or bar with an overhand or neutral grip, keeping your upper arms stable and close to your body or against the machine's pads.
- 3
Extend your elbows fully, pushing the weight down or out, and contracting your triceps at the peak of the movement.
- 4
Slowly and with control, return to the starting position, allowing your triceps to stretch fully.
- 5
Maintain a stable torso and avoid using momentum; the movement should originate solely from the elbow joint.
