How To do Cable Tricep Kickback
Starting Position: Attach a rope or handle to the bottom of a cable machine. Hinge forward from your hips and place your opposite elbow on your thigh for support.
Form: While keeping your arm next to your body, exhale and straighten your elbow against the resistance. Hold briefly in the straightened position before slowly returning to the starting position.
Personal Trainer Tips: The cables offer a different feeling from dumbbells and free weights, because the cables will add a constant tension throughout the range of motion. Make sure that you move through the full range of motion. If you have difficulty completing the range of motion, you should lighten the weight.
