Açıklama
The Cable Lying Triceps Extension is an effective exercise performed lying flat on a bench using a cable machine to isolate the triceps muscles. It can be considered a cable variation of the classic skull crusher. Thanks to the constant tension provided by the cable, the triceps remain under maximum activation throughout the entire movement. Compared to the classic barbell skull crusher, it places less stress on the joints, offering a safer movement, especially for the elbows. It works all three heads of the triceps, providing a deep stretch particularly on the long head. When performed regularly, it significantly improves triceps hypertrophy, back-of-the-arm development, and isolation quality.
Adım Adım Talimatlar
- 1
Place a flat bench in front of a cable machine (the cable should be behind the bench).
- 2
Attach an EZ bar or rope to the low pulley of the cable machine.
- 3
Lie flat on your back on the bench, with the cable positioned above your head.
- 4
Grip the bar at shoulder-width with your palms facing towards your face.
- 5
Extend your arms straight up; this is your starting position.
- 6
Keep your upper arms stationary throughout the movement.
- 7
Bending only at the elbows, lower the bar towards your forehead or just above your head.
- 8
Push the bar back to the starting position by contracting your triceps.
- 9
Squeeze your triceps maximally at the top of the movement.
- 10
Maintain constant cable tension at all times.
Önemli Noktalar
- ✓The bench should be positioned straight in front of the cable pulley.
- ✓Keep the upper arms fixed; bend only at the elbows.
- ✓Maintain constant cable tension.
- ✓Use a full range of motion.
- ✓Squeeze the triceps at the top.
Yaygın Hatalar
- ✗Moving the upper arms - breaks isolation.
- ✗Using too much weight - compromises form.
- ✗Inadequate range of motion - fails to fully engage the triceps.
- ✗Swinging the weight - relies on momentum.
- ✗Positioning the bench incorrectly - results in uneven cable resistance.
Nefes Kontrolü
Inhale as you lower the weight, exhale as you push it back up.
