Overhead Cable Tricep Extension: Muscles Worked, Form and Alternatives

The overhead Cable tricep extension is an isolation exercise that works the muscle on the back of the upper arm, known as the triceps. This exercise requires a cable machine, a tricep rope attachment. The overhead position and resistance from the cable isolate the triceps and challenge them to work through the full range of motion. In this article, we will go over the steps for properly performing the overhead cable tricep extension, as well as tips for maximizing results and variations of the exercise.

Know About Tricep Muscles

Triceps brachii, or simply Triceps, is a three-headed muscle opposite of the biceps and is responsible for 2/3 of upper arm mass. It consists of 3 heads : the medial head, the lateral head and the long head. Big Triceps make the arms look big, contrary to the popularity of big biceps, which are smaller in comparison. Strengthening the tricep muscle can improve overall arm definition and functional strength, making it a crucial part of any upper body workout.

Didn’t make the time to do any pictures/videos during the workout but I did take a quick selfie during our lunch at Foody Goody and my cardio on the Arc Trainer. It was Back and Arm day. I managed 180 lbs for 10 reps but didn’t do 3 sets because I plan to do legs tomorrow. I felt super good with those endorphins during my workout. Like “fuck the world” good. I mean offense 😂😂💪💪 #backworkout #armday #arctrainer #snapfitnessregent #abcrunches #wristcurls #kettlebellhammercurls #overheadcabletricepextensions #romandeadlifts #snapnation (at Transcona, Manitoba) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwf4VZAgRS9oQi8vucIhWaLV9RB8jd9ZrWn3-g0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gc6xjbzypj9l
