High Pulley Overhead Tricep Extension – Benefits
- This exercise places the triceps in a different position, so there is a change in the emphasis. Many people feel their triceps are stronger in this position, but the challenge is are your core muscles strong enough to stabilize you. The weight from the cable machine will pull your body backwards, so your abdominal muscles will have to really work to keep you in the correct position.
